Directions

  1. Mix 6 tablespoons of CHA! Sriracha Sauce with prepared cornbread batter. Chill until ready to use.

  3. For CHA! Ketchup, mix remaining 3 tablespoons of CHA! with ketchup. Prepare honey mustard aioli by mixing Texas Pete® Honey Mustard Sauce with mayonnaise. Combine cocktail onions, green pepper sauce, and mustard to create relish. Blend avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and salt until smooth for avocado crema. Store all sauces in separate squeeze bottles or piping bags in the fridge.
  4. Mix Texas Pete® Dust with cotija cheese. Cut celery into 1” pieces and shave into ribbons using a Japanese mandoline. Soak in ice water to curl.
  5. Heat oil to 375°F. Dip skewered wieners and cheese into cornbread batter, ensuring even coating. Fry until golden (about 4-5 minutes). Drain and cool slightly.

Chef’s Notes

  1. Experiment with different sausages like chicken, pork, or even seafood like lobster tails for a gourmet twist.
  2. Try various cheeses such as Swiss for a nutty flavor or cheddar for a classic touch, especially with breakfast sausages.
