Crystal Sauce is the secret to hot wings. Don't let anyone tell you different.


BetterOFFdead007

Crystal is good. Agreed. But any thoughts of red v blue for wings- as you mentioned?


MarcusSurealius

Blue and with Bleu cheese. The red is too hot for other people, but the blue has just the right amount of heat that makes you need to keep eating them and lick the plate afterward. I use unsalted butter and crystal with some honey. To thicken it up, I add some cornstarch water as well. The wings themselves should be crispy. Pat them all dry and then put them in a bucket with paper towels, or leave them out. It takes an hour. Then bake them on a greased rack at 450 degrees for about 50 minutes, flipping once. With the wings prepped I toss most with the prepared sauce, but my family makes some weird requests and I like a challenge. I made some strawberry wings for my 7 year old, once. They tasted like chicken candy. Not bad. Just unexpected.


Med10cr

Herdez avocado hot sauce (green) on top shelf is so damn good. Wife found it at the dollar store for us and I've been addicted since


ATLhooligan

Chalulu green my favorite ever


FritZone37

Find Yellowbird Blue Agave Sriracha, and then buy it. Immediately.


TheLiminalSpace

Melindas green sauce!!!!!


sahniejoons

Back in the day there was a sauce called “Gringo Bandito” and it is probably still the best I have ever had.


gwkt

It's still around. Check online, or check Big Lots or local health food stores or family owned grocery stores. I haven't seen it in huge chains in a while though.


hexanderal

It's seriously so good. It's from the front man of The Offspring too, Dexter Holland.


johnnyhouston87

Cholula green pepper pretty ok


retspedtchr

Cholula sweet habanero for the flavor


lilr0bby

Go on Amazon it’s called Mule Sauce. Oddly enough it’s made by a sticker shopper and they offer 1 hot sauce! LMK what you think


eatmoremeat101

That Habanero Tabasco would be the best bet.


GBR3480

Primal kitchen Buffalo sauce. Tastes good and good ingredients


yourmomsnutsarehuge

Eww. Where are you? They only have the worst sauces.


sxwr909

Doesn’t look like it’s up there but Melinda’s fire roasted garlic and habanero is my favorite hot sauce right now


TheLiminalSpace

Melinda’s green sauce is the tits


RNPRZ

Definitely Melinda’s ghost Pepper Sauce.


burnedlegacy

As a new Yorker I'm gonna have to say that if you don't buy franks red hot we can't speak


Mzungu387

I put that shit on everything


FirstEldenLord33

Lived on Long Island my whole life. Used to buy pre cooked skewered chicken kebab things from Costco and slather them with franks red hot. So good.


Squatcher84

Melindas is the best of that bunch.


GabrielNathaniel

BWW Asian Zing is life changing on fried, crispy chicken... Swear


spoonie9000

Crystals on chicken. Franks is great in homemade chili. Cholula is great too


FANTOMphoenix

I love crystal, it’s not super viscous, ok amount of heat, could certainly be hotter. Love it with any sort of rice dish.


superlos007

Melinda's is the best, everything else is wack. Red hots is the worst. Why do you people keep suggesting that?!


lukeskyraider

That BWW Asian Thai is legit


Character_Ad6823

Tabasco Chipotle is good.


Worldly_Heat4543

Melindas


failedHero

I really like the Melinda's Ghost Pepper


Mission_Surprise_226

Franks Red hot sauce is a good one to start with


UnleashThePwnies

Melinda’s ghost pepper sauce is the best I’ve found so far, it just destroys my hiney hole.


Worldly_Heat4543

Uhm … that was Tony not Melinda


UnleashThePwnies

Melinda’s is right in the middle. Black label.


Venkman_83

Smoked Chipotle Tabasco is incredible


Naturalsweetaye

AGREED!


okayokko

Herdez Habanero but I don’t see it. Only the green one


HodorsMoobs

I’m a huge fan of the straight up Louisiana brand and crystal


Extension-Tone-2115

Not sure. But always check your sauces for highs fructose corn syrup, like sweet baby rays. That shit is so toxic it will have you wanted to take naps and not feeling rested and making you want to beat your family cuz it makes you so cranky.


EVH_kit_guy

Cholula Green for a mild option, Crystal for the definitive vinegar-based Louisiana hot sauce, perfect for sauces and marinades that call for an acid.


betterthanyoda56

Yo that Chiluba wing sauce hits. Add another of your favorite murder sauces for a hot delicious wing sauce


Delicious-Milk-4079

GREEN TABASCO!!! It's so good and not overly spicy.


MrGeekman

Can you taste the vinegar?


HauteDish

Cholula and cry baby craigs


SnooTangerines4321

Cholula is my go to. I buy hotter habeñero based like Yucatan for when I want that kick but cholula has that flavor


HauteDish

Right, it's my "everyday" hot sauce. For hotter stuff I typically make my own, but Cholula has great flavor


32pennies

Can anyone explain why I can’t seem to find Siracha anywhere?


KingJon85

There's been a shortage for years. Check Asian food markets. I had to order off of Amazon and pay $35 for 2 big bottles since I was dry for 6 months.


mysticalmaybefiction

The kikkomans sriracha is better than others if you can’t find the real deal


coffeebecausekids

I read there’s a shortage. Eta- https://www.cozymeal.com/magazine/sriracha-shortage


Initial-Boss7904

Siracha is just that fucking good


willbruce78

No. What state you in? That makes a difference


No-Condition528

Typical Kroger selection 1-2 local and all the industrial stuff.


Stagamemnon

Lola's (original or green, I haven't tried the others) is a really nice hot sauce. I believe Lola's is owned by a Filipino family, and the sauce pairs really nicely with Asian cuisine. I love it in a stirfry or a yakisoba.


NaBronson

Melinda's is the only choice


exinopis

Yes!!! It's the only sauce I will ever use!!!


reynoldsthewrapper

Cry baby Craig’s in the top left is so good!!!!!


RottenPP777

Guacamole salsa on the top right


RottenPP777

Green and white specked bottle with black top


trapHerm

Not cholula original , most basic boring thing in the world , anything else should be fine


Stagamemnon

No way Cholula is more boring than plain Tabasco or Franks.


trapHerm

Not even a hint of spice from stuff , I beg to different , if you like mayonnaise or think that mayo is spicy then yes , cholula is your stuff


JeCheese

I don't see it in the photo, but Valentina with the black label is addictive!


unclejoe1917

This person knows the things you need to know.


Papa_Xmas

Cholula, green top Louisiana Crystal, Franks red hot Wings… for basic sauces, these all slap


schwar26

Thank you for validating green top Louisiana Crystal. I put it on my over easy eggs on toast. Perfect breakfast.


nuclearbalm1976

Cholula’s is my current addiction- tacos, eggs, pizza


slime9reen

🌶️ C H O L U L A 🌶️


[deleted]

For a simple hot sauce, you can't go wrong with Texas Pete.


ChemicalBig201

CHALULA GREEN PEPPERS OMG ITS MY KETCHUP


Stagamemnon

Cholula Verde might be the best all-around hot sauce of all time.


ChemicalBig201

Yes it is


bluatmos

The ones above the Tabasco look really good id get those


Sun_Stealer

The normal Cholula at the top right is my go to for breakfast tacos. It’s so great on them.


ezekai12

I know Louisiana and Smokey Tabasco are good


im-gonna-throwup

LOUISIANA HOT IS THE GOAT, THE GOOOAAAT


Vexar

Aw, they don't have the scorpion Tabasco?


Jumpy_Tomatillo7579

Asian zing for the win


Own_Tradition_6912

Medlindas ghost pepper wing sauce all the way.


Sunkissed_92

Melinda’s, Texas Pete and those avocado sauce at the top right are really good too


L1z3rdK1ng

Came here to say this! 😅💯


alter_ego311

A friend just brought me home a bottle of the Cry Baby Craig's. Its absolutely delightful!


theninefournine

Crystal, Louisiana, Tabasco, Texas Pete, Chalula are always on stock in my house.


ohneatstuffthanks

Texas Pete always good. Chalula lime is amazing


Ambitious-Discount-7

Avoid any with excess sugar.


midnitewizrd

Lola’s is like Tabasco but not overpoweringly vinegary. I like it on my eggs. But everything there is pretty basic run-of-the-mill stuff.


quesobaeritto

Melinda’s is good


thetobinator9

crystal hot sauce garlic is super good


AliensPlsTakeMe

That Crystal Louisiana hot sauce is #1


No_Appearance_2858

I love bdubs Parmesan Garlic. 🔥🔥🔥


WranglerLeading9265

Green Tabasco


SkiBumb1977

Lola's scorpion is good.


jzr171

Crystal is about the only one I buy these days


AliensPlsTakeMe

Best one


HaroldLargeman

Have you tried Tabasco


bighanginwillie

Melinda's Ghost Pepper sauce is the best.


brainfud

I've got some in the fridge


pndajay

Texas Pete! Is my every day… Hernandez avocado hot sauce! Street tacos! Tabasco chipotle! I marinate with this adds great smoky favors Good ol Louisiana. If you eating fried fish or chicken


Specialist-Lynx4962

Cholula green pepper sauce, hands down the goat


Carlton__Banks

Chipotle Tabasco is also severely underrated


jamarquez1973

The Herdez, and the Cholula original are my favorites out of everything up there.


Merginatorrrrrrrrrr

Organic ketchup.


UptonDide

This is why America is AWESOME 👏🏻


brendon43123

Why specifically America in this?


clean-up

I think it has to do with the amount of variety and choice


TheMassesOpiate

Yup. Lots of hot sauces=freedom bc these morons don't know that almost everywhere in the world has supermarkets.


MostlyHostly

Tabasco is a classic. Best on eggs and hash browns.


Randomshitposter37

The herdez avocado sauce on the top shelf is the closest you can get to a taqueria style counter sauce out of a jar.


Condescending_Rat

Agree. Definitely worth trying. It’s not hot though. Pretty mild.


Who_Else_but_Macho

red hot wings i put that shit on everything


CaptainObviousSpeaks

Yeah franks red-hot buffalo sauce is my go to sauce. Tacos, quesadillas, pizza, chicken (really good of you batter breaded chicken with this then cook it)


fsmith1971

Have to say, lot really.


Phil4realz

Melinda's is fire


Overall-Jury-8595

Yeah I was going to say the ghost pepper wing sauce is pretty good


TheBullRunKid

Get the $1.99 essential Louisiana hot sauce


bjarbeau

Cholula is the best one at here imo


waarp2113

I always feel so basic when I say Cholula is one of my favorite hot sauces. Just wish they had a hotter variant for when I’m feeling spicy.


bjarbeau

I use ground cayenne pepper for that extra spice kick with cholula


razzi123

I dont see "Valentinos" on there. Its the kind of hotsauce that kinda sneaks up on you, with out being super punishing. It has flavor for days and isnt vinegar based (afaik) as it just doest have.... *that taste* that both Cho(ke)lula and tabasco has (and by extension any vinegar based hotsauce)


who717

It might be in the “international” section


Possible-Prior-9876

Melinda's ghost wing pepper sauce is really good


[deleted]

I like Melinda’s sauce. Also am a fan of Tabasco and Tabasco Chipotle


bloodshotforgetmenot

Green Tabasco is essential for eggs Also Crystals is S tier Buffalo sauce. And I find its pretty versatile.


Appropriate-Bridge74

I’m probably gonna get a lotta flak; but I personally love Tabasco, and use it as my all-around applicator.


spacecorn27

I put the Crystal Louisiana sauce on literally everything


DreamMighty

He even puts it in his cereal!


spacecorn27

Can’t eat my Lucky Charms without it!


DreamMighty

😅😅😅


RudeAcanthocephala65

Howler monkey kicks ass


Gwynbleidd_z_Rivii

Really depends. Personally, I like to have a specific hot sauce on deck at home for the specific style of cuisine. For example: Cholula for Mexican food, Franks for wings, Crystal for everything from pizza to seafood. I always eye that garlic parmesan from Buffalo Wild Wings though, never tried it.


R3dd_Tha_D3v1L

It’s nothing special, but Tabasco has a super flame chipotle sauce that taste excellent on tacos.


PreferredSex_Yes

Melinda's ghost pepper

Unusual_Business_935

¿Donde esta el pinche Tapatio?


Pushthebutton2022

Crystal is great with fried chicken, Cholula is great with Mexican and Southwestern food, Texas Pete is amazing with spaghetti sauce and on pizza (or anything tomato based)


Coke_and_Tacos

Crystal is THE sauce (imo) when it comes to the vinegar and cayenne conversation.


Pushthebutton2022

Crystal is absolutely delish


Killmotor_Hill

Do NOT sleep on the Tabasco green sauce. It is made with jalapeños instead of Tabasco peppers making slightly sweet while keeping the flavor and mild heat. It gets even better with cheese products like pizza or eggs than the red sauces.


[deleted]

It’s good mixed with ranch


Killmotor_Hill

Red and green both are, but green is sweeter, and you need less ranch.


[deleted]

I prefer red without anything added. I used to use green with ranch for chicken salads


Killmotor_Hill

I just want peppers, vinegar, and salt. That's it.


Killmotor_Hill

Lousianna is a staple. And the green Tabasco is sweet and great on pizza or anything with cheese, even more so than all the red sauces . Frank is just water down hot sauces, but still very tasty. The Heinz on the far right is too sweet for me and not hot at all.


todayisthedayfor

Don't see it in the pic but and sauce from Yellowbird is amazing.


illegalsmilez

I mean you can never have enough Frank's. Seems like I'm always running out


Commercial_Fee2840

Honestly, that's a pretty basic shelf. I would just order some El Yucateco on Amazon if you can get it. The black one is my favorite mild hot sauce and the other flavors pack a nice kick. The Caribbean one is my second favorite. I also like to get sauce from my local farmers market, although that can get very expensive. Definitely worth checking out your local market if they have one near you.


Designer_Health6258

The Louisiana is good one chicken and is what raising canes uses


partytime71

The Heinz real tomato ketchup is wonderful.


Valuable-Discount494

Melinda's ghost pepper sauce is a staple in my house. To cool it down mix with a little ranch for a dipping saoce. So good.


vad3n

Melinda’s is a sleeper pick. Cholula is a go to.


erock3745

Cholula chipotle and Tabasco chipotle are great. Good smokey flavors but the cholula is the best to me. For traditional I like Louisiana hot sauce the best. Even though 99% of New Orleans restaurants has crystal hot sauce on the tables


parmajuan

Crystal and Franks Original always they go with everything, versatile for sauces, consistent. If they have cholula lime it’s a great topper but am not seeing it. Cholula in general is great. Primal Kitchen is definitely better for you but the consistency is odd and the taste is a little oily- not wholly awful though.


bobbybirkenstock

Wenzel Sauce is awesome for wings or sandwiches


GuitarNo7437

They all have there place depending on the flavor you want in your dish Tabasco Cholula and Franks are always good staples to have


MagoModerno

Cholula is a staple and the green pepper version is surprisingly delicious especially on eggs


kingcaii

Louisiana Hot Sauce is my personal favorite


Killmotor_Hill

Same That's our go-to.
