Just tried on a spoon straight out of the bottle. Very vinegary and tangy, just a tiny bit of heat and a peppery finish. Just straight, it is too much vinegar for me. I will try on some wings tonight, but think it may be too vinegary for chicken. I am looking forward to trying this on pulled pork, may be just the right thing for the more fatty pork. Thanks for the review, would have never tried this sauce without it
