Red Robin Island Heat Sauce Recipe

You only need a few simple ingredients, including garlic, onion, jalapeño peppers, and oil, to start this sauce from scratch.
Don’t forget to let the sauce simmer long enough to meld all the flavors together; I suggest at least 10-15 minutes.
What I love about this recipe is its versatility—you can use it as a dip for your chicken wings or even drizzle it over a fresh salad for an exciting twist!
One key trick is to balance the heat with a little bit of sugar or honey if you find it too spicy.
