A good grocery-store marinade is like a genie in a bottle, granting your wish for a succulent meal.
: 15 cal, 0 g fat, 100 mg sodium, 4 g carbs, 3 g sugaris best known for its hot sauces, so I was expecting big flavors from this tropical-themed bottle, priced at $7.99 from Whole Foods. I should have known better. Most Caribbean-style jerk sauces come in a very dark, almost black color. This one looks… brownish-orange? According to the label, it's flavored with tamarind, raisins, mustard, chipotle, and lime, among other things.
"This sauce will blow your mind when it comes to marinades and reductions," the company claims on its website. Well, not exactly. On the wings, I found it pretty underwhelming, to be honest, with subtle notes of citrus and very mild spice. One taster totally dismissed it as"flavorless." It's hands-down the blandest sauced-wing I tried, which is why it came in dead-last on this list.
Yet, even with all that added oomph, this self-described"teriyaki-ish" sauce failed to impress my tasters. One called it"so light, it's almost refreshing." Another complained of an unpleasant aftertaste. It's also the highest-priced sauce I tried: $9.39 for a 17-ounce squeeze bottle at Whole Foods. Pricey, lacking punch, and a little off-putting in one case, it ranks toward the bottom, too.
