What's your favorite hot sauce?

Rise Thread RISE!!

Just had some Colon Cleaner with my burrito's. It is one of the best hot sauces I have had in a while. So much flavor with a nice heat back bone. The name may throw you off but this would be absolute killer on a venison roast.

:rockin:

Get a jar of Sambal Oelek (ground up chili peppers). Sizzle it up along with an equal part of butter and a splash of vinegar makes a killer wing sauce.\

Add a few green thai chilies and some lime juice makes a great dip for spring rolls etc.

High in heat it can be used straight in stir fry, as a dip for breadsticks or on any type of fish.

I use it along with a variety of other ingredients in everything from chili to stuffed cabbage.

I've been having Cholula Chipotle and Chili Lime hot sauce lately. They are sufficiently hot enough to satisfy my taste but still so mild that my wife can handle it. The nice thing is that the ingredient list on the labels is short and there is nothing that the average home cook can't easily obtain, those are two things I like in packaged foods.

 

[Melana]

Cholula.

The smoked version is one of my go-to's.

My older son can't have hot spicy stuff anymore,so he gave me a shelf full of Chipotly,ghost chili,scorpian sauces. Good stuff,but my go to is Trappy's Red Devil hot sauce. Nice heat & plenty of flavor. Thicker than ones like Frank's & better tasting. My boys started dipping their potato chips in it at age 6!

What can you really do with ghost chili? Can you actually get flavor out of it, or is it just a double-end burner?

 

[unionrdr]

Ghost chili & scorpian chilis make a sauce that's sort smoky,fruity peppery goodness...for a couple seconds. Then that real heat hit's you...on both ends. These farts are gunna hurt. But dang,a little of those sauces is pretty good. I just use Trappy's when I want a good mix of flavor & heat. The heat on the scorpian sauce hits you a bit faster.

I did do Franks growing up till I found Texas Pete. Now I keep a giant glass jug of it in the fridge.

Tabasco is my go to for breakfast and bloody marys.

Sriracha is finding it's way into more and more of my food. I use it all the time in Asian food and it's great for marinating and cooking with. Basically a chili paste. Try marinating shrimp, chicken or pork in a mix of Sriracha, soy sauce, ginger, oil and some lemon juice. Grill, saute or stir fry with veggies....

 

[passedpawn]

Tabasco is my favorite. I know it's common, but I always use it. Their Chipotle Pepper sauce is really good too.

I do go through srirachi like crazy though.

 

[jdelatte]

Crystal hot sauce, I was the lead maint tech there and would have them make a bottle with extra capsicum in it, very very very hot

 

[brew_ny]

frank's hot sauce

 

[smccarter]

I've tried a number of different hot sauces, most were very good... the best I've ever had was home made by a friend of mine. Got to the point that I couldn't eat anything without it. I have no idea what peppers he used, or how it was made, but it was really good stuff.

Now I'm a Tabassco man with chronic heartburn. I love hot sauce, onions, tomato sauce, and greasy food... My belly doesn't like it when I eat any of those things though. I guess that's why god created Prilosec OTC.

Get a jar of Sambal Oelek (ground up chili peppers).

I'll cast another vote for this but be sure to get the Huy Fong. Made right here in the USA (by a Vietnamese guy) this is better than any I was ever given in Indonesia and a gallon jar costs about $12. Never thought of mixing it with butter and vinegar. Sounds good!

 

[g2rnewton]

Frank's Red Hot....

 

[Goofynewfie]

Sirracha
To me franks red hot the vinegar taste overpowers everything else

 

[hunter_le five]

Cholula for Mexican food, Sriracha for literally anything else.

Franks is good for fried chicken, but that's about it. Tabasco just tastes like mildly-spiced vinegar. "Texas Pete" is a Louisiana-style sauce made in North Carolina.... no thank you.

Marie Sharp Belizean Heat. It's fantastic.

I still like my Trappy's red devil louisian hot sauce. Thicker with good balance of flavor & heat. Then there's trinidad scorpian pepper & naga jalokia (ghost chili) sauces for once in a while. With this cold,I think I need some trappy's & corn chips...

Just finished with a batch of my homemade roasted jalepeno/habenero hot sauce. All bottled up and ready to roast some tails.

 

[ChefRex]

A lot of cock sauce lovers,Sriracha, I admit i love it too but I still chuckle to myself ever since i heard someone call it cock sauce.
It and Tabasco chipotle are my gotos, reminder to me, make habanero mango sauce again

 

[drainbamage]

Frank's and Sriracha are my go-tos. :fro:

Regular Tabasco is too vinegar-y, but I like their jalapeno sauce. Yucateca habanero verde is good as well.

I have a bottle of Blair's After-Death, and I tried for a while to power through adding it directly to eggs and stuff, but it's a little too much. On the other hand, a few drops in a batch of chili...perfect.

That Tobasco Chipotle is excellent. I accidentally got it once, and loved it to the last drop.

Why only once?

 

[passedpawn]

Why only once?

Good question. I've been on a srirachi kick for a while now.

 

[N7KMS]

Why only once?

It was an accident once, then on purpose every time after that.

 

[JuanMoore]

I'm surprised to see so much love for Cholula and Valentina and so little for Tapatio. Around here Tapatio is the standard at most restaurants and roadside food stands. The exception would be that many of the more seafood oriented Mexican places seem to prefer Cholula.

In my house we use a lot of sambal oelek, siracha, tapatio, el pato (green can), franks, and a green jalepeno sauce made locally by Poblano Hot Sauces.

Sounds great - how do you make it? I want to try that myself one of these days.


For me, Franks is #1, followed by Siracha and Tabasco.
I have a collection of about a dozen or more hot sauces.
Trader Joe's Jalapeno is actually really good - I keep a bottle of that at my desk at work for needs.
I found a new one not long ago, Hank's Sauce from New Jersey. Not killer spicy, but really good flavor. When I knock of the bottles I got, I will need to order some more - they do ship.
