Uncle Mungo's Hot Sauces

Uncle Mungo's makes small batch speciality hot sauces and chilli products at the foothills of the Dandenongs in suburban Melbourne. The name came from a family joke over a baby name book, and it stuck. The philosophy is simple: no gimmicks needed, just great products.

We stock a spread of the range, from easy-going to properly hot. Sweet n Sour and Habanero Ketchup are everyday table sauces. Chipotle BBQ brings smoke for ribs and burgers. Scorpion Wing is built for wings, while Garlic Bhut Jolokia, Bhut Jolokia, Mango Carolina Reaper and the COVID-19 and COVID-19 Delta Variant sauces are for serious chilli heads.

Shake Scorpion Wing through hot wings straight off the smoker (try our hot n fast wings), or splash Chipotle BBQ on smash burgers. Browse more local heat in our hot sauce range. Free shipping over $149, or click & collect in Brunswick.

Which Uncle Mungo's sauce for which job

  • Everyday and family friendly: Sweet n Sour and Habanero Ketchup. Use them anywhere you'd reach for tomato sauce: snags, eggs, chips and burgers.
  • BBQ and smoke: Chipotle BBQ. Brush it on pork ribs or chicken in the last 15 minutes of the cook, or use it as a dipping sauce for pulled pork.
  • Wings: Scorpion Wing. Toss cooked wings in it with a knob of melted butter for a classic hot wing coat.
  • Fruity heat: Mango Carolina Reaper. Mango sweetness up front, then the reaper kicks in. Good with grilled prawns, pork belly and fish tacos.
  • Serious heat: Bhut Jolokia, Garlic Bhut Jolokia, COVID-19 and COVID-19 Delta Variant. Start with a few drops and build up.

How to use them

Hot sauce works best as a finisher, not a marinade, so the fresh chilli flavour stays bright. Add a few drops to a plate of pulled pork, stir a splash through mayo for a quick burger sauce, or mix into melted butter for wings. For the superhots, go drop by drop. If you're new to the range, start with Chipotle BBQ or Sweet n Sour and work your way up.

Pairs well with

A good chicken or pork rub underneath gives the sauce something to sit on. Have a look at our chicken rubs and pork rubs, then finish with Uncle Mungo's at the table.
