Looking for a wing or chicken finger dipping sauce for your heat-loving friends? Well, here it is. This firecracker dipping sauce has a nice garlicky flavor. With smooth buttermilk. And a big kick from roasted jalapenos. The flavor is fantastic, but you will get the heat. Believe me. Adjust the heat by adding/removing more jalapenos. Or heck, add some habaneros and really, really kick it up a log!
It Is Spicy
I used 4 large jalapenos in this firecracker dipping sauce and the result was probably a little hot for the average person. Actually, not “probably”… it was hot. Sometimes you get really hot peppers and sometimes they aren’t quite as hot. That’s why it is good to taste as-you-go. I’m ok with it being pretty hot, as long as I can still enjoy the dish.
I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.
For a somewhat tamer dipping sauce, check out our Buffalo wing dipping sauce. It still has a kick, but your heat-fearing friends will find it to still be fantastic. Also try my copycat of Chick-fil-A’s chicken finger dipping sauce or my chili dipping sauce.
