Today the weather was picture perfect and we decided to spend time outdoors grilling. As my family loves all types of hot sauce,it was decided to try out a recipe from Bon Apetit magazine featuring the popular hot sauce Sriracha.This sauce is smooth and hot and lends great flavor to just about everything you add it to. I amended the recipe to suit our taste and grilled vegetables alongside as well. I took the balance marinade and cooked it down till slightly thickened,stirred in some butter and finally burbon,just awesome!!!
