I've been after a good sauce recipe to compliment my backyard BBQ king status. After making this, I received a huge number of compliments from friends and family. For any of you hat wearers out there, make sure you remove it before you eat as you'll need the extra ventilation to cool down the head! Needless to say, it does have one heck of a kick to it IMO. I think next time I make this I'll combine it with another recipe I found to get a bit more quantity and cool down the heat just a bit. However in it's current state, the overwhelming comment was how good it would be on chicken rather than the ribs I put it on. It could also be a bit thicker so if you don't want to wait for it to reduce down, try a little cornstarch/water mixture to thicken it up without adding any flavor.
