A buddy of mine sent a bottle from Charleston, SC called Sweet Savina Sunrise. It's very good!. A great homemade sauce I make that is fantastic on wings is a jalamango sauce...yep it jalapenos, mango, & pineapple. Here's the recipe:
Ingredients
1 9 oz bottle of Hot Mango Chutney
1-2 jalapeños
1-2 limes, juice and zest
1 T freshly chopped ginger
1 cup of fresh pineapple or 4 Tbsp juice
3 T honey
1 large clove of garlic
Salt and Pepper, to taste
3 pounds of chicken wings, cooked
Instructions
1. Remove the seeds from the jalapeños (or leave them in if you want extra heat) and slice.
2. Sauté until soft.
3. Put the pineapple, garlic, ginger, honey, jalapeños, lime zest and juice in a food processor and blend.
4. Add the Hot Mango Chutney and blend.
5. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
6. Toss the cooked chicken wings with the sauce and enjoy!
The burning sensation actually releases endorphins, which help you handle pain/endure an emergency, which causes a sort of "high" or adrenaline rush.Every now and then I have something "hot" that makes me wonder this: What is it with some hot/spicy foods that make you want another bite of the hot, and not something to make the hot go away?
We went to a thai place for lunch, and they also have great sushi. The spicy mayo is so good, and it's the kind of heat that just makes you want to keep eating it.
Wish I knew how to create that balance at home.

I like to joke: there's "hot," then there's "Thai hot." On my first venture years ago to a Thai restaurant, when asked for my desired level of heat, I responded "5+, and tell him to bring it."
Don't do that.
