Hi! I've been lurking on this list for a few weeks and decided that some of you may enjoy this sauce. It is good on grilled chicken breasts. It is not immediately and overwhelmingly hot but has a real nice afterburn. It was developed by Chef Mickey Donald at Aunt Chilada's Restaurant at Squaw Peak in Phoenix. BTW, if you are ever in Phoenix, the restaurant you want to eat at is Los Dos Molinos on South Central.
