Building your hot sauce tasting board

There’s no better way to showcase your love of bold flavors than with a hot sauce tasting board. Whether you're hosting a backyard BBQ, planning a game night, or simply gathering friends for happy hour, a spicy tasting board featuring Wiri Fire Hot Sauce is sure to heat things up in the best way. Here’s how to build one that’s flavorful, fun, and totally fire.

Building your hot sauce tasting board

🧀 Step 1: Choose Your Base Pairings

Start with a selection of neutral bases that let your hot sauces shine. Great options include:

  • Grilled chicken strips
  • Mini sliders or meatballs
  • Crispy tofu cubes
  • Roasted veggies
  • Plain chips or tortilla wedges
  • Cheese cubes (cheddar, gouda, queso fresco)

Make sure there’s a mix of textures to keep things interesting.

🌶️ Step 2: Feature a Range of Sauces

Curate a variety of hot sauces with different flavor profiles—but make sure Wiri Fire Hot Sauce is the star. It’s spicy, smoky, and sweet, with a bold peppery kick that makes it perfect for tastings.

Create a lineup such as:

  • Wiri Fire Hot Sauce – the bold, signature sauce
  • A citrus-forward green hot sauce
  • A smoky chipotle-based sauce
  • A sweet-and-spicy mango habanero
  • A vinegar-heavy classic red hot sauce

Place sauces in small ramekins or mini jars, and label each with the name and heat level.

🥒 Step 3: Add Refreshing and Cooling Elements

Balance the heat with cool, crunchy sides. Include:

  • Cucumber slices
  • Pickled onions or jalapeños
  • Greek yogurt dip or sour cream
  • Fresh fruit (pineapple, mango, or watermelon)
  • Crackers and mild cheeses

These additions give your guests a way to cool off between fiery bites.

🥂 Step 4: Pair with Beverages

Every hot sauce tasting board needs a drink pairing. Offer a mix of:

  • Light beers or lagers
  • Sparkling water with citrus
  • Spicy margaritas
  • A bold red or fruity white wine

These drinks will help highlight the flavor contrasts while keeping everyone refreshed.

📝 Pro Tips for Tasting
