Bitesized: A Crash Course in Hot Sauce

Hot sauce is a staple in every kitchen. Its increase in popularity has led to a surplus of brands and flavours overwhelming the market, to the point it can be difficult to choose what to get! My house is a prime example of this, with at least 12 different flavours scattered around our kitchen at any one time. The diversity of the hot sauce is something few other sauces can match.

Here are my top three hot sauce recommendations that everyone should try:

Frank’s Redhot Sauce: The sauce of the Buffalo chicken wing. With a sharp, vinegar flavour, Frank’s is one of the most popular, robust hot sauces that few others can compete with. It’s perfect to add some flavour to your eggs in the morning!

Valentina Hot Sauce: The most popular hot sauce in the UK for good reason! It has a rich, chilli flavour and goes perfectly on breakfast burritos to enhance their flavour, without overpowering it.

Balefire’s Verde Crush Hot Sauce: Made a lot closer to home in County Durham - Balefire’s design is unique as the bottle lid is dipped in wax, giving it a luxurious experience. The sauce has a strong citrus flavour which is delicious on fajitas or tacos.

All these sauces add a unique spice to food that everyone should try!
