My thoughts
The only time I have ever heard or seen a Cholula bottle was at my co-workers desk and she loves hot sauce. Of course, I’m never looking for hot sauce in the shops; but you know what this was an excellent dish. I didn’t find the Cholula hot at all. My only complaint is the price per bottle in Canada and at $7 I could have found something comparable and local and probably with a better taste to. Also we only have the one flavour imported to Canada, so trying another option like Chili Lime or Chili F+Garlic would have been great. Other than that I used chives instead or parsley these wings were to tasty and flavourful with a slight kick. These disappeared so fast I should have made another batch and I will next time.
