What's a good hot sauce to use in recipes that ask for it?

I prefer Franks. Sriracha works well also.

Cholula™ is amazing in Mexican cuisine. There are multiple flavors, so you will just have to experiment. However, if you are making chicken or other meat Louisanna Hot Sauce™ is great! Frank's Red Hot is not bad for soups. Good Luck!

Try this homemade hot sauce I been using it for 2.5 years. This goes with anything food wise. Ingredients 20 tabasco or serrano chiles, stemmed and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch slices, or 12 very ripe red jalapenos (about 10 ounces) 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic 3/4 cup thinly sliced onions 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vegetable oil 2 cups water 1 cup distilled white vinegar Directions Combine the peppers, garlic, onions, salt and oil in a non-reactive saucepan over high heat. Saute for 3 minutes. Add the water and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, or until peppers are very soft and almost all of the liquid has evaporated. (Note: this should be done in a very well-ventilated area!) Remove from the heat and allow to steep until mixture comes to room temperature. In a food processor, puree the mixture for 15 seconds, or until smooth. With the food processor running, add the vinegar through the feed tube in a steady stream. Taste and season with more salt, if necessary. (This will depend on the heat level of the peppers you use as well as the brand of vinegar used.) Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve and then transfer to a sterilized pint jar or bottle and secure with an airtight lid. Refrigerate

My fav I ran itno is Cholula. They make a few varities of it. The original is great, THE LIME IS AWSOME + the chipotle is the absolutely best for a chipotle flavor I've found. The chili garlic is not very good in my opinion soo try the others first plz. It's got a little round wooden cap on the bottle. A small/decent amount of heat w/very good flavor. I highly rec it.

I like Grace

For general recipes, use one that has these things in the ingredients list: chili peppers (make sure this is first on the list), vinegar, salt. Garlic and onion are good, too. If you get something with a bunch of other ingredients, it may mess up your recipe. I prefer Crystal hot sauce as it has only a medium heat level and a nice, subtle garlic flavor.

I will usually use Tabaso sauce because it doesn't have flavor, just heat. On rare occasion, I will use Red Hot by Franks, when I also want to add flavor.
