Adoboloco – Fiya! Fiya! and Hamajang Hot Sauce Feature
It’s not often we do two Super Hot sauces for two hot Tuesday at the same time, but we couldn’t help ourselves with Adoboloco! Time to get a bit crazy.
Adoboloco Hamajang Hot Sauce
Hamajang appeared on Season 5 of Hot Ones as the number five sauce, so juuuust starting to turn that corner from medium to high heat. This was the first sauce made in Hawaii to ever appear in the show, and it definitely got the attention of a few of the guests.
From Adoboloco: “HAMAJANG in Pidgin English means “messed up”. The sauce is Kiawe (K-AH-VEE – relative to Mesquite) smoked Ghost Pepper and Habanero. So you’re asking what’s messed up about it? It’s not the sauce that’s messed up but it could mess you up if you decide to eat too much of it at once. It’s VERY HOT, you’ll be able to enjoy the flavors and some really, really good heat. ”
Can confirm, this is one hot sauce. The density of peppers gives you a moment to enjoy the flavor, which gives way to a hefty, hefty linger. This is a “feel it 10 minutes later” sauce, but a natural heat instead of pepper extract.
Ingredients: Apple Cider Vinegar, Chile Pepper, Sea Salt, Garlic
Adoboloco Fiya! Fiya! Hot Sauce
Snagging the number six spot in Season 10 Hot Ones, Fiya! Fiya! follows a very similar formula to Hamajang. Literally it is the same grouping of ingredients, but this time with a twist. Fiya! Fiya! changes things up a bit when it comes to the peppers within the sauce. This sauce is loaded up with jalapenos, dried trinidad scorpions, habaneros, and ghost peppers.
Parsons recently posted about a woman who used this sauce to go into labor. The story goes that she slathered a bunch of Fiya! Fiya! on some food and had her child 8 hours later. Not necessarily scientifically proven, but a fun anecdote for the sauce.
From Adoboloco: “Hotter, hotter, hotter! We decided to crank up the heat for the experienced chiliheads or those that have something to prove. Naturally we never use extracts or sacrifice flavor.”
Again, the heat takes over your entire mouth and the linger is brutal. This is a 10-minute sauce and due to its additional thickness compared to Hamajang, Fiya! Fiya! doesn’t give you anywhere to run.
Ingredients: Apple Cider Vinegar, Chile Pepper, Sea Salt, Garlic

About Adoboloco
Established in 2011 in Maui, Hawaii, Adoboloco continues to stand by the thought that “simple is best.” For each of their sauces, they continue to push that to the limit, allowing only 4 ingredients into each bottle of sauce (other than two of their fruitier sauces which contain 5 ingredients).
Created by Tim Parsons and his family, Adoboloco is a family business. Started by accident with a homeschooling garden, the Parsons family grows as many of their ingredients as possible and when they need to outsource they do so from their community. Adoboloco leverages a closed-loop garden system at their farm, meaning everything has purpose from start to end and is rarely discarded.
The name itself, Adoboloco, roughly translates from Spanish to “Crazy Sauce,” which from the two sauces we tried is pretty reasonable. Looking at the top of their logo you can see them continuing to dive into the “crazy sauce” theme by showing a two-headed chicken. The chicken logo is actually a throwback to a chicken the Parsons’ owned that was a little crazy. They used his silhouette and it’s “bacak” noise in tribute.
Adoboloco is one of a handful of sauces being produced in Hawaii, and has the broadest array of sauces to contribute. Other Hawaiian hot sauce companies include Hi Spice, Kauai Juice Co, Volcano Spice Co, Maui Preserved, and Spicy Ninja Sauce.
Of its praise to date, Adoboloco was previously named by HuffPo as one of the “Best Hot Sauces To Cure Sriracha Fatigue.”
