ON THE SET: Taping the Bang Bang Sauce Episode

This KQ Season 4 episode flips the script on our usual format as the "taste testing" segment happens first. KQ host Mitch Hightower samples five different versions of BANG BANG SAUCE.

Following the taste testing, Mitch demonstrates how to make his favorite version of this recipe. You'll have to watch to find out which of the five versions he selects as his top choice.

The "Taste Testing Bang Bang Sauce" episode will be available to view in early April, 2018 on the Kitchen Queers YouTube® channel.

TASTE TESTING: Bang Bang Sauce

Above: Five different versions of Bang Bang Sauce.

TASTE TESTING: Bang Bang Sauce

Traditionally this sauce was used in a dish called Bang Bang Chicken.  The "bang bang" had to do with how the chicken itself was prepared.  However, the sweet and spicy sauce caught on and various versions are now used in a variety of other dishes like Bang Bang Shrimp and Bang Bang Cauliflower.  We're trying five different recipes.  Look for the results of this taste test in an upcoming KQ video.
