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.

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.

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.

I think they read the ingredient list to find something they can
complain about.

That and you obviously haven't cauterized your taste buds.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
