WASHINGTON DC MUMBO SAUCE

This sauce is as diverse as the District of Columbia’s culture itself. Mumbo sauce is a simple blend of other popular sauces and can be used on chicken wings, french fries, fried shrimp, and fried rice.

If you’re feeling patriotic, make some chicken wings and slather them with this tasty, tangy, DC Vet-inspired sauce. Find everything you need for this signature recipe here.
