Frank's Red Hot

Results 1 to 59 of 59
  1. #1

    Default Frank's Red Hot

    This was mentioned in 'Rillas acidic anus thread so I thought I would start a new thread.

    I contend that Frank's Red Hot Original (often referred to as "Frank's" or "Frank's Hot Sauce") is the gold standard for outstanding flavor combined with decent heat. It is particularly incredible on Chicken Wings as you can fry wings, dredge in Frank's that has been heated with some butter, and wall-ah! Pretty damn good wings.



    Very good hot sauce with very similar flavor to Frank's imo, but never tried on chicken wings...


    Thoughts?

    P.S. Wow, another Maineiac that likes hot-sauce? Whodathunkit?
    Hey knucklehead! Bonk!

    king, i agree completely. I've always liked spicy food but only recently started using tobasco and even more recently been introduced to frank's red hot sauce. both are great, but i like frank's better on most stuff.

    I've never tried cholula.

    what kind of flavor does the chipotle tobasco sauce have? I'm intrigued.

    also, you are correct. you are still easily the best poster on FTR but I'm closing in fast. watch yo back!

    chipolte has a smoky flavor and is not as hot as reg tabasco

    not as versatile as franks

    Actually i think Frank's is pretty pricey for the quantity you get... but i don't make $100k/yr at unlimited poker either....

    I also enjoy this flavor:

    Frank's is great, particularly for wings as mentioned - also good for chili and cajun food.

    I'm OK with Tabasco but it's not my favorite. Chipotle Tabasco, however, is great stuff. Not that hot but excellent flavor. They didn't mess too much with the fundamental taste of the peppers, which is the right idea with chipotle.

    Cholula is my favorite hot sauce for mexican food. Always good on fajitas.

    Now to pimp my true love: this guy is local to my state (Indiana) and makes some of my favorite sauces. His chipotle sauce is great, as is his hard cider. Stupid Hot is my favorite in the category of "ridiculously hot sauces" - it actually has a flavor if you can fight through the crazy heat. But his crowning jewel IMO is the Fiery Habanero, which is like BBQ sauce pumped up to a redonkulous heat level. It's so, so good in any situation where regular BBQ would be good. Sometimes I'll make standard BBQ chicken or ribs or whatever, and then use this on the side as a dipping sauce when I want a mouthful of heat. So damn good. And his prices are really good too - most of those sauces come in huge bottles.

    Another great thing about him is that he occasionally sells Red Savina pepper mash. For people interested in making their own (I've done so a few times), pepper mash is the way to go - and Red Savinas are great hot sauce peppers.

    do you know any where the sell it up in Fishers? i saw the dicks BBQ place on the list but it shut down not too long ago.

    You live in Fishers? I'm pretty close to you, I live near Meridian and 86th St.

    I'm not sure where they sell it around here. He used to do a booth at the State Fair every year but he stopped a couple years ago for whatever reason. I usually pick it up in Nashville, IN now when I pass through there. There's a store that devotes about 1/3 of its shelf space to hot sauces and they carry his whole line.

    You should try his mail order - it's quick. I ordered a few boxes of stuff several years ago and gave bottles to all my friends.

    Lukie you need to try this stuff, it's pretty damn good.

    cholula is great stuff. Never had it until going to school, its hte de facto hot sauce in the cafeteria. But I grew up with Louisiana Hot Sauce, which will always be #1 to me.

    This made me lol cos I once took a bottle of tabasco to primary school (age 10) cos another kid bet £5 me that he would eat a sandwich soaked with an entire bottle. When he refused to eat the resultant orange soggy mess I told him he had to pay up, he refused and an argument broke out. Teachers came over, he grassed me up, I got in a shit load of trouble, long lectures abort extortion.....managed to get away without getting suspended too though!

    Boost I don't mean to hate... but I almost considered putting a pick of this up as an example of dirt cheap crappy imitation hot sauce. Do you really think it measures up to Frank's or is it more of the nostalgia that makes it taste good to you like you suggested.

    haha very nice. would suck to get suspended (expelled??) b/c of 'extortion'.. what a joke that would be.

    anyway, i don't think you understand the sheer power of dave's insanity sauce. it's WAY hotter than anything generally available. I'd guess that a wing from BW3 drenched in blazing sauce has about the same 'hotness' as a drop or so of dave's insanity sauce.

    random googling:

    Your Review:: Well good folks, this story is absolutely true. We were talking about Dave's insanity one day and one young college blockhead decided that he could handle it. We dared him to take a full shot glass(on an empty stomach). We tried to recant and not have him do it, but he wouldn't out. He took it and provided us with great concern and loads of vomiting laughter. He actually broke out in hives which lasted three full days. He wouldn't stop vomiting, man we got scared. Not all bodies have the same tolerance so please take at your own risk.

    also, fwiw, i havn't had this stuff in 10 years now, so it's possible that it really isn't AS hot as i made it out to be. maybe flomo or jamurda could ellaborate?

    "1/8 teaspoon in a huge pot of chili - turned it blazing hot. It's crazy. It's too crazy to be peppers - it's the *extract* of peppers, raw capsaicin, apparently. Yow."

    I live by Buffalo.
    Chicken wings (with franks and butter)
    and blue cheese....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
    Franks has a chicken wing sauce now too.
    Its similar but buttery.
    Get it now.

    Frank's is good but a little too mild. And I will dump it on frozen pizza if I don't have any jalpenos handy(can't hardly eat pizza without jalapenos anymore).

    Franks and Louisiana are both great for wings. I am looking for a good Chipotle sauce though. Doesn't need to be too hot but a little spice is good.
  41. #41
    Chipotle Tabasco is very good. It's warm but not blazing, and mostly it tastes like chipotles - it's not a super-fancy sauce. The consistency is thicker than regular Tabasco but not too thick.

    i ordered a bottle of daves ultimate insanity sauce a few years back. 2 years ago on new years eve, i brought it with me to a party to play a few pranks on some of my friends. A few of my macho friends would tell me no hot sauce would put them on the floor blah blah blah, and they all failed the test. Well while i was tending to this girl that tried the sauce and was freaking out, some drunk guy took the bottle off the table and just chugged it, finishing the whole thing. Well it about 30 seconds after that he started going nuts, drinking water non stop for about 20 minutes. Thats when it gets good. He goes outside with a bottle of pina colada mix and starts throwing up, drinking pina to cool down the fire vomit, then drooling for like 5 minutes, and throwing up again. This process repeated all night, i woke up the next morning very early, like 6am, and he was still outside drooling and vomiting with 4 emty bottles of random mixers. He goes "i cant sleep cause every time i throw up it brings the heat back, im going to die." We still laugh at his about that.

    That stuff is no joke, it's not even in the same league as any of the over the counter stuff you get at the store. i have a taste for vvvvery spicy foods, and can handle regular daves no problem, but the ulitmate insanity sauce is just 2 hot to eat straight. I still have a bottle of it, but i use it to season chili and things like that, never directly onto food.

    Super simple chicken recipe for hot-sauce lovers (I use Louisiana Hot Sauce, but Frank's sounds like it'll work fine.):

    Take one whole roasting chicken, sprinkle all over lightly with seasoning salt (I use Hy's). Then coat entire outside of chicken with hot-sauce. I dollop it on and spread it around with a basting brush. Roast in oven at usual settings/time.

    Absolutely wonderful.

    franks is okay. it has good flavor but no heat. i stand by will641's theorem: tabasco sauce is the nuts. whereas you have some hot sauces that have all heat and no flavor, and you feel like shit afterwards. i agree with boost that louisiana hot sauce is pretty good. here is my ranking of hawt sauce:
    1) tabasco
    2) cholula
    3) louisiana

    tobasco is and always will be my favorite. Franks had better all around flavor though, just not as much heat.

    If want more heat, plus the flavour of franks.
    Just add some tobasco to the franks.

    hypothetically, how would you describe a 'whole roasting chicken' to somebody who does not know what one is?
  59. #59
    Um...it's a chicken that hasn't been cut up into pieces, hence "whole". Kinda looks like this without the head and feet:
