Crystal hot sauce is my goto. Tangy and just the right amount of heat to casually throw on anything if you don't want to go into battle mode. Frank's come close. Surprised that I'm the only one mentioning Crystal.
Secret Aardvark I think would be my second goto if you aren't looking for a hot sauce with the acidity of Crystal, Tabasco, Frank's, etc.
Funky Monkey Banana Rum hot sauce. Cant find it anymore
Queens Majest Ginger and Scotch Bonnet is fantastic
Cholula Chipotle is my go to standard since its available broadly
In the Netherlands I use adjuma pepper instead of habanero and mix sweet orange juice + lime as the sour orange replacement.
Not sure it counts as hot sauce but a chili oil like Lao Gan Ma is my favourite. Otherwise when I do use hot sauce my favourites are Hot Ones Los Calientes Rojo, Tabasco Chipotle, and Secret Aardvark.
Franks has no equal.
Professor Phardtpounderβs Colon Cleaner.
Nando's Peri Peri sauce.
Gringo Bandito. It's a flavorful medium-heat hot sauce.
That depends. For pizza and Asian cuisine, Sriracha. Special shout-out to Underwood Ranch specifically, because that shit is top tier. For everything else, chipotle Tabasco. When that goes on sale, I buy a few bottles because I know I'll go through it lol.
I bought a restaurant sized container of the Chipotle Tabasco a few years ago. Turns out that might be a bit too much for a single person to get through in a reasonable amount of time.
Sriracha on pizza, you're my kind of people.
I actually had somewhat of a dependency on sriracha at one point in my life. I was working at a summer camp, and the food being kinda bland I brought in a bottle of sriracha one day. Then a few others did the same. At the end of the summer, we were basically daring each other to douse our meals in unholy amounts of that rooster's sauce.
It took me three weeks after the job ended to be able to taste anything that didn't have sriracha on it.
Valentina regular or black label
Chipotle tabasco
my favorite used to be a sauce named "amor" that was primarily centered around southern california and baja california.
it was a little bit like cholula, but w MUCH stronger vinegar punch to it and it makes my mouth water every time i think about it on top of chips or other snacks; sort of like frank's hot sauce if it were more sour and more picante at the same time.
the brand still exists, but their recipe changed significantly about 20-ish years ago and i've been unable to find anything like it to call my favorite.
Jethro's Naga Fire or Lord Reaper.
Current favorite is Cosmic Disco by Karma Sauce. It's blazing hot with some great Asian accents that make it perfect for most of what I cook at home.
Torchbearer Garlic Reaper Sauce. Well, before alcohol, hot sauce, and pain meds fucked my stomach up. Be careful kids
Valentina is the only true hot sauce. It makes Chalula taste like dogshit in comparison. That's how perfect it is.
Aardvark Habanero and Renfro's Habanero Salsa. I just really like habanero, okay?
-Homemade garlic cayenne hot sauce.
-Frank's Red Hot. I put that shit on everything.
-Cholula for Mexican food.
Willing to share your fav garlic cayenne formulation?
I use Franks and Franks wing sauce a lot.
I live in NM so we have New Mexican Food, for that it comes pre covered in green or red chile.
