hot wing challenge ghost pepper sauce

We Tried Hooters Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce. Here's How It Went

Hooters , long a restaurant people have visited for everything but its food, has finally entered the realm of extreme eating. This month, Hooters across America unleashed a new Ghost Pepper Hot sauce, claiming to be 15 times hotter than any sauce on the menu, 45 times hotter than traditional hot sauces, and clocking in at a staggering 15,500 Scottsville Heat Units, according to FSR magazine . Lest you think Scottsville Unites are like the heat equivalent of Turkish Lira, a typical jalapeno only has about 2,500, via this helpful infographic from Forbes .

So in addition to giving the men of America yet another way to foolishly try and impress their Hooters waitress, the hot wing heavyweights have added a sauce to the menu for serious heat heads. But is it really as hardcore as Hooters is saying? Or is it yet another big-talking marketing ploy to get us all to order giant beers? We headed out to our neighborhood Hooters, pregamed with Pepto, and asked our friendly bartender for a couple of orders. Here's how it went, and some advice for those looking to try it out.

What is Hooters Ghost Pepper Hot sauce?

Ghost peppers by themselves pack over a million Scottsville Units, one of the most extreme hot peppers on the planet. So just pureeing some up and tossing them with chicken wings would likely have ended in an unfortunate lawsuit. As such, according to the Hooters manager we talked to, each kitchen mixes a special ghost pepper sauce with the already-existing Nuclear sauce –- a spicy blend of cayenne, habanero, garlic, and other spices that was previously the hottest sauce on Hooters' menu.

Visually, it looks roughly like stuff that would come spewing out of a volcano somewhere in Hawaii. The deep red color is almost intimidating, especially when presented atop a steaming plate of wings. It's almost like looking into a live lava field with a strong peppery kick, and no matter how hot the wings are the sauce itself gets an A for appearance. By all accounts, it's not hot enough to start actually dissolving the chicken wings either, which bodes well for your esophagus.

What else comes with Hooters Ghost Pepper Hot sauce?

The original Buffalo wings , born out of a kitchen at Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York in 1964, were served with celery and bleu cheese dressing to cool the heat of the Cayenne pepper sauce. So thank Teressa Bellissimo for this little bit for foresight, because you most definitely will need some sort of cool, creamy dressing to put out the towering inferno in your mouth after trying Hooters Ghost Pepper Hot sauce. Hooters knows this, and serves the Ghost Pepper wings with either bleu cheese or ranch, and no celery. Which will immediately offend anyone from Buffalo , but no one ever accused Hooters of being wing purists.

The wings don't come with any sides either, though if you go during the day you can order an eight-piece boneless wing lunch special for $9 that comes with fries. Even if you're not up for packing more grease into this already-artery-clogging meal, the fried potatoes can come in handy for soaking up some of the hot sauce in your mouth. Or, if you're a real masochist, you can dip them in the hot sauce too.

How much does Hooters Ghost Pepper Hot sauce cost?

Prices vary by market and location, but essentially the ghost pepper sauce costs as much as any other sauce on Hooters' menu. Our six-wing order of Hooters original wings was $10.55, and naked wings were the same price. Boneless wings are a little cheaper at $8.55 per order of six, and the roasted wings are $11.10. That $11.10 price tag also applies to the smoked wings and Daytona Beach style wings, a preparation where wings are smoked over hickory chips and then fried.

If you're looking to try this stuff without committing to an entire order of wings a side of sauce is only 60 cents, a relatively small investment to see how you measure up to hot sauce tough guys. Be advised, though, these wings don't come with any sides, and eating an entire order is ... challenging to say the least. So you may be well served to order these as a novelty for the table, split the cost, and look further down the menu for your actual lunch.

How long will Hooters Ghost Pepper Hot sauce be available, and where?

Barring any lingering personal injury claims (no waiver required!), Hooters Ghost Pepper Hot sauce will be on the menu for the foreseeable future. Both the manager and server we talked to said there were no plans to pull it any time soon, and all of Hooters' press releases and other promotional materials have not used the dreaded "limited time" verbiage to describe the new sauce. So if you feel like you need to train your stomach a little bit before going for the ghost, you've got time.

Hooters did, however, use another joyfully ambiguous phrase in the world of franchised restaurants — "participating locations." So while the Ghost Pepper Hot sauce is technically available nationwide, you may want to call your nearest Hooters to see if the local franchisee is, in fact, participating. Also, because the ghost pepper sauce is so new, not all delivery apps have it as a sauce option yet, so checking that way isn't a guarantee.

How does Hooters Ghost Pepper Hot sauce stack up to other items on the menu?

Nothing on Hooters' menu , past or present, is even remotely as hot as this Ghost Pepper sauce. If Hooters split its hot sauces into leagues like soccer does, this sauce is the EPL and the next hottest sauce on the menu is a middling team in the MLS. If all you know about soccer is that you go to a bar once every four years to watch it and sing with Brazilians, just know this stuff is on a different planet heat-wise.

If you get even a little bit heated up by Hooters' Nuclear sauce, you will find this one instantly intolerable. If you usually order anything below Nuclear, don't even look at this sauce as it might literally burn your eyes. The wings themselves are, as one might expect, exactly like every other Hooters wing, since they don't order different wings for different sauces. So from a meat quality perspective, it's more or less a push. But don't go in expecting anything close to what you've had at Hooters before. Whether it's better or worse depends entirely on how much you like spicy food.

What's the nutrition info for Hooters Ghost Pepper Hot sauce?

Unlike the rest of its sauces, Hooters doesn't have published nutrition info on the Ghost Pepper Hot sauce yet. The closest thing Hooters has to published info on the nutrition of Ghost Pepper Hot sauce is for the old 911 sauce, essentially an earlier iteration of Nuclear, which is used as a base for this sauce. The 911 clocked in at 20 calories per serving, with 4 grams of carbohydrates and 1770 mg of sodium, according to Fastfoodnutrition.com .

Add that to your wing of choice, and the info varies. As per Hooters' nutrition info guide, a six-piece order of Hooters Original breaded wings has 840 calories, with 51 grams of fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, 200 mg of cholesterol, and 560 mg of sodium. Naked wings, with no breading, are a little better for you, with 540 calories, 31 grams of fat, 320 mg of cholesterol, and 390 mg of sodium. Opt for boneless, and you'll be packing on 480 calories for eight pieces, with 12 grams of fat, 70 mg of cholesterol, and 210 mg of sodium.

How do Hooters Ghost Pepper Hot wings taste?

You know how sometimes you bite into something spicy, and you feel fine for a minute before it creeps up on you? That's not what happens with Hooters' Ghost Pepper Hot sauce, as upon the first bite your initial reaction is, "Wow, that's spicy." If you've got a bit of tolerance, it won't knock you over immediately. There's a flavorful, peppery tang to the sauce, so it's not like biting into battery acid. If you can handle the heat, the taste of the sauce is outstanding.

That, however, is a big "if." And if you're not made of lead eating this can be a religious experience. By about bite three, you're probably going to need a break. If you're the type who enjoys going all-in on your wings and getting sauce all over your face, this is also the point where your face starts to burn. One wing in, and you'll feel the adrenaline start rushing in the back of your head, as your eyes get wide and your heart rate increases. Talking is even difficult because the heat of your breath only makes it worse.

How do Hooters Ghost Pepper Hot boneless wings taste?

Typically, eating bone-in and boneless wings is a pretty similar experience, sauce-wise. But with the Ghost Pepper Hot sauce, which is applied with great generosity to both, they're markedly different. The boneless variety has a lot more breading, and therefore absorbs more of the intense pepper sauce than the bone-in wings. The result is an explosion of heat in your mouth on the first bite, that doesn't let up at any point.

This increased heat in your mouth is offset by less damage to your face and hands. If eating traditional wings by hand makes your fingers burn, you can opt for a fork with boneless, saving your hands from a cold tingling the rest of the afternoon.

Boneless also are a little harder to dip, since their larger shape doesn't always fit in the plastic ramekin. Again, use a fork as you'll be desperate to get something cool in your mouth by about bite three. Finishing a full order of either of these is almost impossible if you're not an experienced hot food eater. But because they have less breading and less sauce saturation, you'll probably have better luck with the bone-on.

Parting advice on eating Hooters Ghost Pepper Hot sauce

Hooters Ghost Pepper sauce is not for the faint of heart, or stomach, or any other internal organ. While they're not deadly, they're also not something an average person can just stroll in and polish off a plate of. So, with the benefit of our hindsight, here are some tips for enjoying them:

1) Have some antacids before you eat. You will literally feel the acid moving through your system for an hour or two after you eat, and it's considerably less painful when you've got a nice pink, chalky coating.

2) Order something on the side to soak up the heat. Water, beer, or soda will only spread the stuff around your mouth and make it worse. A hamburger bun and a glass of milk will do the trick.

3) Don't plan on eating an entire order. Even if you can do it, the rest of your day will be miserable. Get one order, and if you're planning on making a meal of your Hooters visit order something else too.

4) Don't touch your face or your eyes after eating with your bare hands. If you're ever chopped jalapenos, you know how pepper acid stays on your hands ever after you wash them. This stuff is no joke, and rubbing your eyes after eating the wings with your hands will be like a light macing.

5) Take some home . No reason not to have a little fun watching your roommates who always steal your food discover all this the hard way.

Roasted Ghost Pepper Sauce

by Mike Hultquist · Oct 26, 2018 · 66 Comments · Jump to Recipe

This roasted ghost pepper sauce recipe roasts several ghost peppers with carrots and garlic to make a very spicy yet also sweet sauce that can be used to enhance many dishes.

More ghost pepper recipes , my friends! This time in the form of HOT SAUCE! Super excited.

Hot sauces always excite me. There isn't a better condiment out there. Hot sauces can be used to flavor and spice up practically every food there is - we're talking breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, dessert, snack time, come on! When DON'T we need hot sauce?

Don't answer that. Because I always need a good hot sauce on hand to add that pizzazz we all crave.

If you want to cook with ghost peppers, you need to be ready for the heat. Ghost peppers, aka Bhut Jolokias, top out at over 1 Million Scoville Heat Units, which is roughly 200+ times hotter than an average jalapeno pepper .

Learn more about ghost peppers here .

Hot sauces are one of my favorite things to make. I've become a bit fanatical about it, really. You can tell by the growing collection of Hot Sauce Recipes on the web site.

I've made a number of different ghost pepper sauce and hot sauce recipes on the web site - I'll link to those below - but for this sauce I'm oven roasting the ghost peppers first along with garlic and carrots to bring a unique and satisfying flavor.

Wait, Carrots? YES!

Carrots have an innate sweetness that brings that quality as well as substance to the finished sauce, especially when they're roasted. You'll be surprised at the flavor of the finished sauce.

Let's talk about how we make this particular ghost pepper sauce, shall we?

How to Make Roasted Ghost Pepper Sauce - The Recipe Method

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Slice the ghost peppers in half lengthwise (be sure to wear gloves!) and place them on a lightly oiled baking sheet.

I removed the seeds from my ghost peppers, but you don't have to.

Next, peel and slice the carrots in half and set them on the baking sheet.

• Slice the ends off of the garlic cloves and set them on the baking sheet. This will let them squeeze out of their skins easily.

• Bake the veggies for 20 minutes, or until the carrots have sufficiently softened.
• Remove and give the carrots and ghost peppers a rough chop. Set them into a food processor.
• Squeeze the garlic out of their skins into the food processor.

Add in a bit of apple cider vinegar, lemon extract, salt to taste and about a quarter cup of water. Process until smooth. It should be fairly thick at this point.

• Adjust the consistency of the sauce with a bit more water to your personal preference. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

• Ghost Peppers. The recipe calls for 2 ounces of ghost peppers, which is roughly 5-6 average weight pods. However, you can add more of them if you'd like more heat and more pronounced ghost pepper flavor.
• Add Sweetness. If you're looking for a sweeter version of this sauce, add in a bit of honey or agave nectar to the mixture. Fruits are also great for this. Brown sugar would be an interesting addition as well.
• Flavor Adjustments. You can also round out flavors to your preference with fresh or dried herbs, other chili peppers, and/or powders.
• Water Alternatives. Instead of water, consider broth or beer, but I would simmer the sauce about 15 minutes first to let those flavors meld.

Safety Advice

When working with hotter peppers, including superhots, it is important to wear gloves when handling the peppers both in raw and dried forms. The oils can get on your skin and cause burning sensations. See above.

Need help? How to Stop the Chili Pepper Burn On Your Skin .

Also, the fumes from the chili peppers and/or the fine powders may get into the air if you are not working in a well ventilated room, so you may want to wear a mask and goggles. Superhot chili peppers , truly, are called superhots for a reason.

Here are some answers based on the many comments I get on other sauces. Here goes:

How long will this hot sauce keep?

It should keep a few months easily in the fridge, or even longer. It's all about the acidity. To be technical, target level ph for shelf stable foods is below 4.6 ph, but should probably be lower for home cooks, around 4.0 or lower, to account for errors. I have not measured the ph of this sauce, but I won't have it around very long anyway. If you're concerned, add more vinegar or a citrus to lower the ph.

The best ph meters that I recommend are from Thermoworks. Get yourself a ph meter from Thermoworks today . I am a happy affiliate.

Where'd you get that hot sauce bottle?

Can I process this hot sauce for longer storage?

Absolutely. Just be sure to use proper canning/jarring safety procedures.

What should I do with hot sauce?

Aside from drizzling it over anything you please, here's a post I did about How to Cook with Hot Sauce . As if you need even MORE reasons to eat hot sauce.  I hope you find it helpful!

Where can I find a hot sauce recipe that starts off with 2 POUNDS of ghost peppers? I want to make a sauce/salsa that will rip a person's head off. Do you remember being in high school. There was always a guy( usually a jock) who bragged that he a "REAL MAN". I want to make a salsa that will rip a "REAL MAN"'s head off.

Mike Hultquist says

November 03, 2022 at 12:18 pm

If you're looking for EXTRA HOT, use hotter peppers, like reapers or other superhots.

So great to hear! Thanks, Jim! Very happy you enjoyed this one.

April 30, 2022 at 2:08 pm

I love your recipes and that you use to HOT peppers that most people are afraid to touch! I can hot peppers from our garden, and I would like to try something like this recipe in bulk. I have a ton of reaper peppers that I will exchange for ghost for now, until my ghost pepper plants start producing. Should I multiply this recipe times the number of half pint jars I’m wanting to make or is this just a small batch recommendation??

May 02, 2022 at 6:50 am

Brianna, thanks! Yes, you can easily just multiply for larger batches. Enjoy!

October 23, 2021 at 7:19 am

Thanks, Sue. You'll get more of a "raw" flavor with green pods, but doable! Enjoy!

August 30, 2021 at 1:39 am

I have been making hot sauces for a many years. I started following recipes on chili pepper madness and I find that I can't handle the heat from the peppers any longer. It there a way I can water down the sauce so its not so hot where it can enjoyed again?

August 30, 2021 at 5:47 am

Nancy, you can water it down, or make another batch of this with really mild peppers, like bell peppers, then combine the two to balance it out. Or add other ingredients, like tomato, to dilute the heat. Let me know how it goes for you.

August 14, 2021 at 1:22 pm

August 14, 2021 at 4:36 pm

Sounds great, Mimi. Enjoy the peppers. Nice selection. I don't can or process mine in a water bath, as I use them up pretty quickly and they last a long time because of the acidity. See my section on How to Make Hot Sauce ( https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/recipes/how-to-make-hot-sauce/ ) for more information on that. Enjoy the sauces!!

I'm just wondering if you would be able to can this in a water bath process

May 28, 2020 at 6:43 am

Pamela, yes, you surely can. Check the pH first, though. Shoot for a pH of 3.5 or lower for home jarring.

Kevin McKeown says

March 27, 2020 at 5:26 pm

Sounds great. How long will this sauce last in the refrigerator ?

Thanks, Kevin

March 28, 2020 at 9:41 am

Kevin, this hot sauce should keep a few months easily in the fridge, or even longer. It’s all about the acidity. To be technical, target level pH for shelf stable foods is below 4.6 pH, but should probably be lower for home cooks, around 3.5 or so, to account for errors. If you’d like it to last even longer, add more vinegar or a citrus (such as lemon juice or lime juice) to lower the pH. Enjoy!

Christopher says

January 27, 2020 at 8:16 pm

Hey Mike. I was just wondering if I'd be able to used dry peppers. I dont know where to find fresh peppers this time of year in Minnesota. Thank you!

January 28, 2020 at 9:45 am

Hey, Christopher. Yes, you can absolutely use dried peppers for making this or any hot sauce. Just don't roast them in the oven, as they will burn. Instead, lightly toast them a couple minutes in a dry hot pan. You can rehydrate them then in hot water before making your sauce, or they will rehydrate in your liquids when you simmer everything. Let me know how it turns out for you. I made this sauce using dried pods, so review that one for some extra tips: https://www.chilipeppermadness.com/chili-pepper-recipes/hot-sauces/cilantro-habanero-hot-sauce/

Mark Ryan Crouch says

January 13, 2020 at 12:37 pm

I was thinking of using apple cider beer like angry orchard instead of water. Do you think that will have a weird taste with the apple cider vinegar?

January 13, 2020 at 2:27 pm

Hi, Mark. I think it would be very interesting to try apple cider beer in a hot sauce. I cook with beers all the time and they add excellent flavors. I say give it a go and see how it comes out for you. It's fun to experiment and play with new flavors. Good luck and enjoy!

January 22, 2020 at 3:38 am

Well. Not to bad with the apple cider beer. I stuck with the apple cider vinegar. And 9 ghost peppers. Lol. Oh I threw in some maple syrup. Made it really sweet!!! Thank you for the recipe!!!!

January 22, 2020 at 7:59 am

Great to hear, Mark! Nice touch with the ghosts!

Lynne beadle says

December 10, 2019 at 7:27 pm

Mike, first time trying to make hot sauce and we are picking yours! Sorry for the ignorance, but can we simply store the sauce in the bottles or do we need to prep the bottles before hand? I noticed one of your recipes mentioned sterilized bottles,,, ????????‍♀️ Can’t wait to give it a try! Thanks! Lynne

December 11, 2019 at 8:19 am

Lynne, you can store the sauce in bottles, no problem. I like to wash them thoroughly before using with hot water. If your goal is longer term storage, then I would boil them or at least run them through a hot cycle in the dishwasher. Really just practice good sanitary practices. Let me know it turns out for you!

November 05, 2019 at 2:40 pm

Have you tried throwing in a small piece of pineapple for sweetness? Just wobdering if i should tey or will it ruin my whole batch.

November 05, 2019 at 2:44 pm

Suzi, absolutely. I add fruits to my hot sauces all the time, especially pineapple. Check out some of my other hot sauce recipes on the site that use pineapple. Let me know how it turns out for you.

October 29, 2019 at 11:48 am

Where did you find that very cool bottled pictured? I’ve seen it a few times on your site. I checked the links you provided but didn’t see it.

October 29, 2019 at 12:31 pm

Thanks, Mike! I appreciate it. That bottle was actually recycled from a bottle of rum someone gave me. I kept it because it looks so cool! Haha. Great for photos.

October 10, 2019 at 10:50 am

Great, Nicholas! Great news!!!

September 29, 2019 at 4:09 pm

This recipe is killer. I used 15 ghosts and 4 carrots in a batch today for two 8 oz. bottles.. It is excellent tasting and outrageously hot. The peppers really shine through and the carrots add just the right amount of sweet.

Thanks again. Your cooking rocks. Tomorrow we try the pineapple mango fatali sauce.

September 29, 2019 at 4:31 pm

Excellent! I love to hear this, John. I greatly appreciate the comments, and I'm super happy you're able to cook with your superhots! Thanks! Glad you are enjoying it.

September 28, 2019 at 4:55 pm

September 29, 2019 at 8:09 am

Excellent, Alex! Glad you are enjoying the recipes!

September 15, 2019 at 8:07 am

Just curious why the recipe calls for lemon extract instead of lemon juice/zest?

September 15, 2019 at 3:06 pm

Didi, extract has more pronounced lemon flavor, but you can use zest instead if you'd like.

Karoline says

September 13, 2019 at 6:05 pm

Hello Mike!

Quick question: I take it this is supposed to be a thicker/chunkier type of hot sauce. Would adding more vinegar to it to thin it out ruin it? And if so, would you recommend more ACV or white? I’m looking to make it into a thinner “Tabasco sauce-like” consistency.

Thank you!!

September 14, 2019 at 9:00 am

Karoline, you can add vinegar, no problem. You can also strain it to get a thinner sauce and thin it with water if you'd like. For vinegar, both are good. Just use a top quality for flavor. Let me know how it goes.

September 09, 2019 at 3:08 pm

20 ghost peppers is way more than 2 ounces this must be a typo !!!! My Ghosts are almost an ounce each , what is it 2 peppers or 20 peppers ? Big diff LOL

September 09, 2019 at 3:19 pm

Tommy, yes, an average ghost pepper weighs about 1/3 ounce, so it's really 5-6 average sized pods. This recipe CAN take up to 20 of those, though. Still, it sounds like you have some good sized pods, so I would use 2-3 of them for the first time around, then adjust accordingly for the next batch. Let me know how it goes. I adjusted the recipe to make this clearer. Thanks!!

Hi Mike. I have loads of frozen Naga morich peppers from last year's harvest. This sauce seems like a good way of using them up. Do you think it is ok for me to roast peppers that have been frozen?

July 13, 2019 at 1:05 pm

Andrea, yes, you can roast those. Just make sure the pods are dried as much as possible after thawing. You can also pan cook them. Let me know how it turns out!

I want to produce this sauce in large quantity for bottling and selling in my small local shop.

To increase the volume do I just do a multiplication of all ingredients? I am looking at making 5 ltr (+-34 US Fluid Ounces) for bottling in 250ml bottles (+-8 Ounces)

July 02, 2019 at 7:48 am

Curt, yes, just multiply the ingredients to scale up. You might start with a smaller batch to test, then increase as needed. Let me know how it turns out for you.

I’ve had quote unquote “normal” hot food (hottest level restaurant wings/hot ethnic food/processed “ghost pepper” stuff/Da Bomb sauce) that wasn’t too much for my palette, but introduced my ass to the concept that some foods while delicious aren’t worth the ferocious screaming deathshits that follow.

Popeyes Teams Up With TRUFF For A Fancier Spicy Chicken Sandwich

Are you hungry for a spicy — and fancy — chicken sandwich? If so, your appetite will be satisfied with this culinary collaboration between Popeyes and TRUFF. The fried chicken fast-food chain and the truffle hot sauce brand have just introduced the Spicy TRUFF Chicken Sandwich at select Popeyes restaurants nationwide for a limited time. This chicken sandwich costs around $5.99, but prices vary by location.

"Both Popeyes and TRUFF have reimagined our industries, and now we are coming together to challenge the status quo on the concept of 'fancy food,' but for every day," Sami Siddiqui, President of Popeyes, said in a press release on October 17.

The secret ingredient to this mouthwatering chicken sandwich is TRUFF's award-winning spicy mayonnaise that has flavors of red jalapeños and black winter truffle . It's smeared on a brioche bun with fried chicken breast and pickles nestled in between. You can order the Spicy TRUFF Chicken Sandwich in participating restaurants and online via its app.

Popeye's spicy and fancy menu items

We think the best part about this collaboration is that you can add the spicy truffle mayonnaise to basically any menu item you want, including the Blackened Chicken Sandwich and the Bacon & Cheese Chicken Sandwich. The restaurant created a "Build Your Own" menu with the mayonnaise on its website and app, which allows you to add the spicy truffle mayonnaise to items like cajun fries, macaroni and cheese , chicken tenders, and chicken nuggets for just $1.

In case you aren't familiar with TRUFF, the truffle hot sauce brand launched in 2017 with hot sauces infused with black or white truffle and became featured as one of Oprah's favorite things in 2018. Its product lineup now has other products like oils and pasta sauces. 

If you can't make it to a Popeyes, or you can't get enough of the special mayonnaise, TRUFF sells its mayo and spicy mayo online starting at $24.99 for a two-pack. And if this spicy truffle sandwich and mayo aren't your thing, Popeyes currently has other featured menu items including ghost pepper chicken wings, Oreo cheesecake cups, and strawberry biscuits.

Melindas Green Sauce Review

Melindas Green Sauce is described right on its web page as, crafted by blending together a lot of good green stuff. And that it sure is. Its chock-full of green things from jalapeños to spinach and more. Theres a lot to take in on the flavor, but does the heat balance work? And is Melindas Green Sauce versatile in the kitchen or something more specialized? Lets review.

If you love herbaceous, vegetal green flavors and plenty of tang in your hot sauce, youll enjoy Melindas Green Sauce. It packs at most a low-medium heat, making it plenty eatable, too, for most. It can be used more like a spicy table sauce than a dash-at-a-time hot sauce.

Heat Level: Pros:

• The spinach green taste may not be for everyone
• Green tomato or tomatillo? Label inconsistency

Mad Dog 357 Gold Edition 1000000 Shus

Mad Dog is a spicy food phenomenon. Hailing from Massachusetts, David Ashley started creating his sauces and culinary horrors in 1991. You know youre dealing with fiercely spicy food when the company name alludes to a firearm .

The Gold Edition hot sauce comes with a replica shell, just for good measure. This sauce actually uses Mad Dogs own Plutonium No.9 Extract to pump additional heat into the sauce. As stated before, were not a fan of extract hot sauces.

However, unless youre using rare and difficult-to-source super-hot peppers as a primary ingredient, it will be hard to crack the 1M SHU mark without using pepper extract. Mad Dog has some of the hottest sauces on the market, but they also claim to have some flavor-first hot sauces with mild heat as well.

Mad Dog 357 Gold Edition touts a 1,000,000 SHU Scoville rating. This makes the sauce unbearably hot, created for those who love to chase the heat in every meal. This bottle could last a lifetime in our refrigerator without ever going empty.

Q: Do Hot Sauces Expire

Consider this your annual reminder that most labels actually give best by dates, not expiration dates. So, the best by date might be in a year, but the real question is how quickly does it deteriorate after that? With most vinegar-based sauces the answer is: pretty slowly. Salt and vinegar are both preservatives, so those styles can probably go three or more years without changing too much. Fruit- or vegetable-based sauces, and especially ones without vinegar, probably last half that timeand need to be kept in the refrigerator. But the good news is that even if the sauce is no longer best, that will generally apply to things like color and flavor, rather than food safety.

Hot Sauce Scoville Scale

The Hot Sauce Scoville Scale lists numerous hot sauces sorted by their pungency and their amount of capsaicin in Scoville Heat Units . A hot sauce, also known as chili pepper sauce is a spicy seasoning sauce made from chili peppers and other ingredients such as various fruit and vegetables, vinegar and spices. In addition to changing the degree of spiciness, hot sauce is also used to alter the actual taste of a dish. The production of hot sauces can be done by cooking, fermentation, but also by using only raw ingredients.

Topato Hot Sauce: 3000 Shu

Get ready, because from now on were going to be climbing the heat scale pretty fast.

Tapatío can be found in sizes ranging from individual packets to gallon-sized bottles and packs a pretty good punch at 3,000 SHU. Apparently Tapatío is a slang term for people from Guadalajara, which is where the founder is originally from.

This Mexican-style hot sauce was created in Vernon, California, and is pretty popular with people across the world who arent afraid of some heat. Although the brand was instantly popular in the Hispanic community, it didnt cross over and become a favorite in American households until the late 80s/early 90s.

How Long Will This Hot Sauce Keep

It should keep a few months easily in the fridge, or even longer. Its all about the acidity. To be technical, target level ph for shelf stable foods is below 4.6 ph, but should probably be lower for home cooks, around 4.0 or so, to account for errors. I have not measured the ph of this sauce, but I wont have it around very long anyway. If youre concerned, add more vinegar to lower the ph.

The best ph meters that I recommend are from Thermoworks. Get yourself a ph meter from Thermoworks today . I am a happy affiliate.
