Akabanga Extra Hot Chilli Sauce (spicy) 100 ml / 3.38 oz

So good and spicy I love it on some chicken!!!!💪💪💪💯💯💯

I am very happy with this sauce. I grow my own habanero peppers along with several other varieties. The habaneros I grow are sparse getting only a handful each season (which is enough for me to use as fresh) but I love the strong earthy & different flavor than anything else I've tasted. I chop it up raw & real small and use it in Chili and other dishes where I want heat and flavor. I have purchased habanero powder and it's spicy with little to no habanero flavor. I dried out a bunch my wife bought for me last year and ground it up (outside) and the flavor was better & heat was there too. But I wanted to find something that gave me the strong habanero flavor that I could use rear around. I searched for habanero oil and found this. It's got great habanero flavor and like everyone else said, brings the heat. If you like habanero flavor, this is 98% just like fresh. The other thing is fresh habaneros are inconsistent regarding heat. I'll be able to learn how much of this sauce to use and not be surprised with the occasional super spicy peppers.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Very spicy, I like it

It’s really hot and no dull moment when you had it to your food. Only for those who like it hot hot.

As a maker and connoisseur of peppers and pepper sauces, I was curious to actually taste the truth behind the story. At first, I was not moved by the oil in its first true test at a bar with some wings. To be fair, I was setting the comparison bar against my own creations. So yes, I was a little disappointed after the first try. A second try, using the same generous or equivalent amount to test, my taste buds were happier. And on that occasion, the little dispenser was instantly recognizable by another bar patron who had lived in Sweden and was given a bottle by a colleague who had traveled to Rwanda! The little dispenser and its contents has grown on me in subsequent use. Although it lacks the depth and complexity of full flavor, it does deliver a nice subtle heat to bring more kick to already prepared foods. I have also tried adding it to my cooking, but did not get the results I desired. As an oil, it does not stand up to the heat of cooking and loses some of it's own fire in the process, even though hints remain. So if you are looking for added kick to your prepared food, Akabanga will add its bang!

I discovered this many years ago when I lived in Central Africa and simply cannot cook or eat without it! I add it to everything. Just a couple of drops will do. Akabanga is hot, but it is not uncomfortable hot like a ghost pepper. It is flavorful and adds flavor to dishes and accentuates other flavors. Add 3-4 drops to a bowl of guacamole. Add it on a plate of beans and rice. Add it to your fajitas or tacos. Add it to your meatball sauce. Truly a condiment that everyone loves. And yes, it can pack a punch so be careful when applying. Add 2 drops. Taste. Then if you need more, add another drop or two or three.

Good stuff. If you want to bring the heat...but not be overwhelmed by it... this is what you need.

If I was reviewing just the sauce itself, I would rate it 5-stars. Good flavor and plenty hot. The 3-star review is because the bottle is not good. You need a razor blade or sharp knife to cut the seal on the bottle the first time. OK - I figured that out on the first bottle I ordered. It leaked a little afterward but possibly because I didn't cut the seal cleanly or cut it too deeply or something. But it was usable, and I really enjoyed the sauce. I ran out and re-ordered. The second bottle arrived damaged. The flip-top lid was missing, meaning that once I would cut the seal there would be no way to close the bottle. Unfortunately, because it is a "food item" I could not easily return it to Amazon for a replacement. Amazon Customer Service was good and credited the amount back to my account so I can re-order. I wish the bottle had a better design. Possibly a more conventional screw-on lid or something that would make it easier initially break the seal and then to open and close once the seal is broken.
