We visited Thunder Canyon Brewery in Tucson, Arizona to try their hottest wings, Natural Disaster hot wings. This hot wing sauce has a pretty decent flavor, thick texture and a good amount of heat. The wings were almost as spicy as the XXX Atomic wings at Quaker Steak and Lube. If you like spicy wings, these are definately worth a sample. I am rating the heat of these wings a 7 out of 10 on the heat scale.

These sauce samples were sent to us from Golden Toad Hot Sauces.  They are coming out with a new sauce and narrowed the recipe down to these two versions.  They asked us for our opinion on the sauces. They decided on their final recipe and launched their new hot sauce containing the Naga Jolokia Pepper and Habanero Peppers.  The new sauce is under Xtinction Sauces.  You can email me at hotsauceguru@gmail.com to get your own bottle of this sauce now!

Mike:  I definitely enjoyed the hotter version of the hot sauce better.   I was leaning towards that sauce on the initial trial and afterwards I sampled both sauces on various foods including eggs every morning until the samples were gone.   This hot sauce has a slightly similar tasted to some Habanero hot sauces I have tried.  This hot sauce has a great flavor and a good amount of heat!  I am looking forward to sampling the final product, I know it will be awesome.  I am rating this sauce a 7 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  I liked the second hot sauce better than the first.  This hot sauce is very spicy, but it still has a good flavor.  Although I liked the flavor of this hot sauce, it is a little too spicy for me to eat on a regular basis.  I am rating this hot sauce an 8 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Mike:  The new Triple Atomic wings from Quaker Steak and Lube are now the hottest wings available here.  These hot wings have a decent tradional buffalo wing flavor even though they have extract.   I have heard many horror stories about the regular atomic wings and I thought that these would be a little bit of a challenge.  The hottest wings at Quaker Steak and Lube were not as sinister as people had made them out to be in the stories.  Don’t get me wrong, these wings definitely have some heat, but if you can handle the heat of a Habanero, you will be able to handle these hot wings. 

Josh:  The taste of these wings was not too bad, atleast the little bit I could taste.  These wings had a lot of heat, but I think that I could have finished the half dozen if I had gone faster, so I want to try again.  I am rating these wings a 10 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Mike:  Dave’s Gourmet Insanity Sauce is an extract sauce and the sour extract flavor is very noticeable.  The flavor of the sauce by itself  is not good and the hot sauce is a little thick.  This is not a hot sauce that you would throw on anything for flavor, you would only want to use this sauce to add some heat to a dish.  I am rating this sauce a 7 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  Coming into the trial for Dave’s Gourmet Insanity Sauce, I knew that this hot sauce packed a good amount of heat due to talk amongst my friends.  For the first ten seconds, the sauce seemed to have about the same amount of heat as ketchup, but then it started to build.  The heat seemed to have no end as we hit the five minute marker, I had constant burn in the back of my throat.  By the time ten minutes had passed, i was sucking on ice cubes in an attempt to quell the heat.  For about twenty minutes after sampling this hot sauce, i tried everything from bananas to ice cubes to stop the heat with no real success.  I wasn’t focused much on the flavor, but it was kind of bland.  I am rating this hot sauce a 7 out of 10 on the heat scale.
