Got the briskets in the smoker........

Just made this sauce using this recipe for Gates original BBQ:

Actually, pretty good stuff.

BUT I love Gates SPICY BBQ sauce.

What do I change or add to make this recipe taste spicy?

OR does anyone have the secret recipe to Gates SPICY sauce?

Thanks!

You can always add Cayenne Pepper.

**Phobia** · 10-21-2012, 01:01 PM

More ground red pepper or whatever else you use to spice something up. Ghost peppers? A spicy shaker sauce you have on hand? I don't know - your options are endless but obviously you have the cayenne on hand. Just throw 2-4 more tablespoons of that in there and it should ramp it up to where you want it.

How about some sort of spice?

Normally when I want to make something spicy, I add spices.

P.S.--Pollard sucks.

And crushed or powdered red pepper

Bump · 10-21-2012, 01:05 PM

puree some red chili's or you can probably even add a decent amount of Sriracha and/or cayenne.

Fish · 10-21-2012, 01:07 PM

These are my kickers when I want just a little heat without the flavor of pepper or something..

**GloryDayz** · 10-21-2012, 02:47 PM

You could add some Jamaican Jerk seasoning...

Cayenne pepper is the best way to add heat without altering the flavor much. If you just want to heat up an otherwise good recipe, that would be my choice.

My next 2 choices if I wanted to add to the flavor would be jalapeno and poblano/ancho. I also really like the flavor of habanero, but sometimes it's difficult to control just how much heat you get with the flavor.

RJ · 10-21-2012, 05:07 PM

Simmer your sauce for about 30 minutes with a whole jalapeno or two. Remove the chilies when done. Don't let it boil hard or the jalapenos will pop. This will give you some heat without making a big change in the taste of the sauce.

**Fire Me Boy!** · 10-21-2012, 05:15 PM

Cayenne, hot sauce or sriracha.

listopencil · 10-21-2012, 05:25 PM

Trinidad Moruga Scorpion.

WV · 10-21-2012, 05:29 PM

Pure Capsaicin extract.

Flachief58 · 10-21-2012, 05:32 PM

Chop up about 100 ghost chillies to put in your sauce. That should do the trick
