Good ol’ Sriracha because of its versatility. It goes well with so many foods.
Hmm it’s the sweetness that makes it not versatile for me. I love it in pho though!
I love pretty much anything by Melinda’s
I recently got a bottle of Melinda’s Garlic & Habanero sauce. It might be my favorite hot sauce that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
Was coming to praise the Ghost Pepper Wing Sauce. It’s so good on and in so many things, but especially a chicken sandwich from a local joint we go to on Wednesdays. I look forward to that every week.
Secret Aardvark habanero sauce is so, so good. I’ll put it on just about anything. It’s by no means the hottest sauce out there, but I’ll put its flavor up against any other sauce. I buy this stuff by the case at this point.
I knew I would find this comment here. It’s so damn good, got some in my fridge right now.
Agreed, that and yellow bird habanero are the two sauces that I need to have a supply of at all times.
Also highly recommend the smoky aardvark if you haven’t tried that one yet. It’s not in as many stores as the original, but it’s delicious.
Tapatío
Delicious sauce, but I personally wouldn’t consider that hot at all.
This was my go-to for a while. I still keep this one on hand, but I recently have been defaulting to Hoff Sauce more recently. If you see it for sale, I recommend you give it a try.
I love all kinds of hot sauce (sate/sambal is my #1. Does that count as sauce? It’s more a paste). But my widespread you can find this anywhere go-to for eggs and potatoes is good ol’ Tapatio. I’ll take Valentina’s too, since it’s so similar.
Frank’s RedHot
Do you….
put that shit on everything?
I like Franks in wing sauce but prefer Cholula for pretty much anything else.
Cholula with mayo and ketchup makes a great fry sauce.
That’s my favorite on most foods. For Mexican I go with Valentina and for Asian food I go with Sriracha
I’m a pepper head, but for some dishes, that cayenne vinegar is a necessary flavor component.
Tapatio, Valentina’s, or Cholula.
Cholula Chipotle!
I’m partial to the Dave’s Carolina Reaper sauce.
If I’m in a different mood the El Yucateco habanero sauce has great flavor.
Gochujang for cooking. Usually the T. UP imported stuff from Korea.
Gochujang chicken with rice and veggies in a bowl has become a default “lazy workday dish” at our place.
My wife got me a bottle of Da Bomb as a joke for Valentine’s and I’ve been working through that for over a year.
I was just gifted a whole season of hot ones sauces. Came with da bomb evolution and havent tried it yet
Not sure if home made is what you have in mind but for me its this https://youtu.be/-wgZ7s3YxWI
Sambal Oelek
Trappey Joes
Excellent cayenne hot sauce.
Classic black Truff sauce. The black truffle elevates just about everything I put it on, and the heat has depth instead of just being heat.
Hmmm. I never considered black truffle to have heat.
Oh it doesn’t, it’s a hot sauce and one of the ingredients is also black truffle
Ohh, is there a specific brand?
“Truff”
Pretty fond of Nandos Garlic sauce, but theres also
- Djablo Power Jab (filipino - earthy and HOT)
- Burns & Mccoy - Mezcaline (warm and fantastic on a taco, not crazy hot, very flavorful)
Valentina Extra Hot
Great choice, and cheap compared to others!
The standard valentines is close to cholula sauce for a fraction of the price.
Frank’s (extra hot buffalo, too) and Sriracha are always on hand in my house, too.
Chipotle Tobasco or Chipotle Cholula
