Grilled Chicken with Plum Hot Sauce: Try this Unique and Flavorful Recipe

Spice is the spice of life. I love a good hot sauce and sometimes when you have an abundance of chili peppers and plums, you just have to improvise. This grilled chicken with plum hot sauce will give your regular old barbeque chicken recipes a kick. It’s also perfect for a weeknight meal and would pair well with my hasselback potatoes or rice pilaf.

But beware, the sauce has a kick but is slightly addictive. It’s kind of like a vinegary barbeque sauce, but has a fruity aftertaste which slightly cools it down. This grilled chicken with hot plum sauce makes extra sauce and you can use it on everything. I like to use it as a salad dressing but my man has used it on literally everything including pasta and eggs.

So, make this grilled chicken with plum hot sauce and see what else the sauce pairs well with for you!
