Spiceology is now the proud maker’s of our first-ever, small batch and limited-release hot sauce.
It’s not just the never-before-tasted flavors from our Black & Bleu Cajun blend, fermented cayenne, apple cider vinegar, paprika, garlic, and more that make our sauce different. It’s how we want you to use it.
Sure, you can take that basic shake-that-stuff-on-everything approach. But, just like we think you should use spice blends differently, we think sauces deserve the Spiceologist treatment, too.
Here Chef Tony Reed uses the hot sauce as a brine for some ultra-moist and flavorful chicken wings.
