Jalapeño Business – Mango Chile Citrus Vinegar BBQ Sauce

Jalapeño Business is a vinegar-forward barbecue sauce built for people who like bright flavor and slight heat. It hits with citrus tang first, then a clean jalapeño burn, and it finishes with a subtle tart-sweet mango note that keeps the whole thing moving. Think of it as your “wake the food up” bottle: sharp enough to cut through rich meats, balanced enough to use as a drizzle, and bold enough to stand in for wing sauce, taco sauce, or a quick marinade when you’re short on time.

This one has the awards to back it up. It’s been recognized as a wing sauce and as a vinegar barbecue sauce, and it’s a go-to when you want something that tastes like it belongs next to smoke, char, and crispy edges. If you’re cooking on a grill, smoker, griddle, or oven sheet pan, this is the bottle you keep within arm’s reach.

Use it on wings, pulled pork, ribs, chicken thighs, burgers, tacos, and grilled fish. It’s also a sleeper hit as a party dip: pour it over a block of cream cheese, add chopped green onion, and call it done. If you cook plant-based, it absolutely works on tofu, roasted cauliflower, sweet potatoes, and grain bowls because the vinegar punch keeps everything from tasting flat.

How to use it: For wings, toss 2–4 tbsp per pound while hot, then rest 2 minutes so it grabs. For grilling, brush on during the last 2–3 minutes per side to keep the citrus and mango bright. Best paired with Somethin’ For Rubbin’ or Somethin’ To Cry About.

FAQ

Is Jalapeño Business a hot sauce or a barbecue sauce?

It’s a vinegar-forward barbecue sauce that also works like a wing sauce. You get tang, body, and a medium heat that builds and then fades.

How spicy is it?

Medium. You’ll notice the jalapeño, but it won’t wreck your meal. The heat rises, then backs off instead of hanging around.

What’s the best way to use it on wings?

Toss wings while hot using 2–4 tbsp per pound, then rest 2 minutes so it clings. For extra punch, hit them with another light toss right before serving.

Can I use it as a glaze on the grill?

Yes. Brush it on in the last few minutes of cooking so the citrus and mango stay bright and the sugars don’t scorch.

Is it gluten-free and vegan-friendly?

Yes. Jalapeño Business is gluten-free and vegan-friendly.
