This review is long overdue. John Dilley is a friend of mine and one of the people that I most enjoy in this Industry. I have been to his Defcon Days, seen him at multiple shows, and even participated in one of his Deathmatches. Recently someone asked me if I ever review something and don't like it. That got me to thinking, I can say yes I have tried sauces that I don't like particularly, but my job as a reviewer is to show the sauce for what it is and to be objective. While a sauce might not be my cup of tea, I try to show how it could be used and how some may enjoy it.
This is not one of those sauces. This is my favorite wing sauce. I have no problem telling you that up front.
This sauce just screams chicken wings. It is just the right consistency with the cream in there. I know it doesn't have butter in it, but I swear I can taste some. The combination of the aged cayennes and the fresh cayennes is a good combination. The garlic is really not too prevalent. I know some may be turned off by this sauce simply because it has extract in it. I can tell you that THIS is nothing like any extract sauce you have had. It is made with a completely different process that contains no chemicals. Therefore, there is none of that nasty metallic aftertaste that you are used to. The heat is there from the start, but it's not intense. It builds as you eat. It is a warm all over your head heat. There will be sweating, but it is not so hot that you want to stop eating. For me, this is the perfect heat for a wing sauce. Of course, I have doctored this up with some DM MKII and some Cajun seasoning from time to time as that is my personal taste. This sauce is my everyday wing sauce, but every now and then I need to kick it up just a but more. If you are the same way, you can add some of his DM MKIV coming soon, or some Zero or Sludge. Either way, I suggest you get some of this sauce if you haven't had it. It will change the way you eat chicken wings forever.
