Default Is this hot sauce ever hot!

Grace brand. It's imported from Jamaica and costs $.99 per 85 ml.
bottle. It makes Franks look like baby food.

When I eat Buffalo Chicken, I don't want to compete in a burn out...
but I'm sure you could substitute hot sauces if you really wanted when
you make them at home.

1. Frank's is very much a moderate hot sauce with excellent, complex
flavor, which is why it wins so many tastings.

2. There are literally hundreds of commercial hot sauces which are much,
much hotter than Frank's.

3. Heat isn't everything.

I don't taste the vinegar that seems to be what
folks-who-don't-like-Frank's don't like. Must be one of those
'taste bud' things.

I *do* like that Frank's is mild- so I can taste the complex(?) of
flavors.

Any of Grace's products is worth trying, it is an excellent
brand with quite a few offerings you don't see outside of
the Caribbean stores. Great jerk rubs, too, yes mon.

That's why there's so many hot sauces. There's a range of hotness and a range of flavors. You find what suits you. I like Frank's, too. At the same time I don't talk down people who enjoy the super hot sauces. They're just not for me. I have a low tolerance and Frank's suits that. A chicken wing with just Frank's and butter is heaven to me.

I don't think anyone has ever suggested that Frank's was out to win an
award for heat. For most people it is hot sauce of choice for chicken
wings. It has an interesting balance of flavours and a nice heat without
being overwhelming.

That's the only way I use it and follow the recipe on the bottle.

Frank's hot sauce is my favorite but it is baby food as far as heat. You
want hot? Try Patak's Vindaloo sauce sometime....in the small can.

I use it. I was told that it was the original hot sauce used for buffalo
wings. I don't know if that's true but it does help make good ones.

It was the original and it does make the best wings.

Agreed. I tend to like Franks. This Grace stuff I got is too hot.
Franks is good stuff, but still too hot. I'd like a hot sauce with
less heat so I can put more of it on. In particular, I like it on
corn on the cob with lime juice squeezed on it.

That was my assessment of this brand. Salty vinegar is about right with
a harsh heat. It's not a favorite of mine. It's the kind of hot sauce
that I'd dump on chicken as a marinade.

I never think it's just salty vinegar, but I don't taste the fruity
complexity someone else mentioned either.

Fruity complexity is nice. I like fruity notes in coffee. I've bought
Franks before, but only because it was cheap as dirt.

I love Tabasco (it's my go to hot sauce), but Frank's and butter is
delicious on chicken wings.

Even though I have Tabasco, I rarely use it. It's got an odd taste, over
the heat that it adds.

Frank's and butter is the *works* for chicken wings but don't forget the
most excellent dip to use with those. I use Marie Calander's Chunky Blue
Cheese dressing. It's like a ranch dressing with blue cheese added and found
(in my store) where they sell the bagged fresh salad greens.

That dip takes the chicken wings way "over the top," imo. Interestingly
too, this is the only time that I like any blue cheese product.

Also don't forget to try Buffalo whole chicken sometime. Rather than pay
lots for wings with very little meat, buy a whole fryer chicken on sale, cut
it up into pieces and do the same you would do with the wings. I haven't
bought wings only since I discovered this. IMO, there's nothing better than
to bite into a buffalo chicken thigh. :-D

I'm guessing Sriracha although it might just be a fad.

I wish people would make hot sauce in paste form. You can apply Sriracha
with surgical precision. This is a good thing. I like thick Lea &
Perrins Worcestershire sauce for the same reason.

Where did you find thick Worcestershire? I don't think I've ever seen it.

They used to! I'm finding lots of recipes that fit what I'm looking
for... not sure about the heat of Thai Chili peppers though.
http://www.inquiringchef.com/2011/02...i-chili-paste/
I think I'll start of with something not as hot. This looks like it's
exactly what I want.

It's right next to the regular L&P. It will redefine your concept of
worcestershire sauce i.e., the regular stuff will seem watery and runny.

The chili-garlic paste looks interesting. Add some sugar and you'd
pretty much have Sriracha.

It looks a lot thicker than Sriracha to me.

Just add some water and stir. Tabasco is made with a mash that looks
similar that that. After aging for 3 years, it's thinned down with a
vinegar solution.

I tried homemade worchestershire sauce once ... it was runny but not
as runny as the bottle stuff ... it was awesome

It sounds awesome. I might be able to cook up some fake Worcestershire
sauce. Ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, anchovy paste, some
carrots and apples and raisins for some complex fruity notes, and some
mashed shitake for some funky, musty, brown notes. :-)

I finally got a recommendation for where to find chili paste and the
person I spoke to says they have many choices. Yay! I saw
"fermented" chili paste for the first time today at Safeway. No idea
how it differs in taste from regular chili paste.
