Disclosure: I received product at no charge in exchange for my honest review.
If you like cooking with peppers and liquor, you are going to LOVE the spice blends at
Tonguespank Spice Company. This Chicago-based company is in its beginning stages, but I predict great success for them! I received three of their adventurous spices in these darling little corked glass jars (which look fabulous on my spice display) that arrived tucked inside little drawstring gift bags.
You can see from the photo that these are no ordinary spices. They currently offer five heat-inducing spice blend flavors - Garlic Grappa, Smoky Bourbon, Citrus Rum, Wasabi Sake, and Scorpion Bourbon. I decided to spice up a dinner for my hot husband and I with a fabulous new recipe creation. It was incredibly delicious and yes, I scored.
Smoky Bourbon Chicken Recipe
(for two)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a baking dish, toss 1/2 cup dry macaroni in the bottom.
In a bowl, mix 1 cup chicken base with 1 tsp olive oil and stir, pour over macaroni.
Set 2-3 chicken pieces on top of the macaroni.
Generously sprinkle Tonguespank
Smoky Bourbon Spice Blend over chicken pieces.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake in oven for one hour.
Note 1: the spices will also flavor the macaroni.
Note 2: Have ice water handy while dining.
Tonguespank Spice Company is currently offering
spice blend sample packs during their
kickstarter campaign and will soon be offering gift packs. Heat up your holiday cooking this year and give someone the gift of great taste!
These are different and interesting spice blends. They sound quite good!

ReplyDeleteI really like the name of the company, Tonguespank just sounds cool. I love really hot hot sauces and their blends with different liquors sound like they would be incredibly good.
