Hot Louisiana Legs

This meal is my modified cheap take on Buffalo wings. I keep a variety of hot sauces for specific purposes. I find that Trappey's Louisiana hot sauce is my favorite for stand alone chicken.



Even so, I prepped these leg drums (so much cheaper than wing drumettes), with seasoned salt and plenty of cayenne.



Once charred and scorched, I tossed and drenched them with the Trappey's . Served them with cucumber-dill-sour cream salad for that nice cooling relief. Goes together so well!

The problem with drummies is that it's too easy to polish off a dozen or so without realizing it.

Those look mighty tasty! Is Trappey's particularly hot? I think I've seen it in the store before but have never tried it.

Thank you kindly, Brad

Yes, I was still hungry after those four. On my scale, I would say that Trappey's is a strong mild to a weak medium, definitely cooler than say, a Tabasco. That's what allowed me to give them a boost with the dry cayenne. It has that characteristic Louisiana "vinegary" type flair. which some folks luv and others do not. I happen to appreciate a bit of that sour acidity in this application.

Great lookin' Hot Legs, BC! I like that brand of hot sauce too. My wife bought me about 10 or 15 hot sauces for Christmas. My garage fridge jingles when I open the door because of all the hot sauce bottles in there.

Those sure do look tasty, BC! I've never seen Trappy's hot sauce, but Trappy's pickled jalapenos are my favorite! I could certainly go for a dozen or two!

Thank you, Brothers!

Dyal-- I can relate on the jingle-jangle-jingle! Also reminds me of a bowling alley.

Tex-- Ditto me on the Trappey's penos! I also enjoy their little yellow tabasco peppers, which I call "yellow jackets" because of their nice hot wasp like sting.
