This is my go to sauce, it has so many layers from sweet honey, rum to to the warmth from the chilli. I’ve already stocked up for the summer as the neighbours request my chicken wings, which are coated in The Captain.

Tropical Flame, heat that is a bit sweet. Lovely flavours of pineapple, coconut, heat from the habanero & jalapeño but not too much that they blast your taste buds off so you can’t taste anything else. Heat gently mellows to leave them tropical fruits dancing around your mouth. Goes great on wings, or add to a sauce to give a little more life. Excellent as a dipping sauce in its own right. 5*****
