Cholula is a fine hot sauce, but if you haven't expanded beyond it, there are sauces with a much deeper level of interesting flavors.

Don't get me wrong, I'll douse a chicken wing in franks quite happily, but when it comes to my bacon and eggs in the morning, I prefer something smoked and fuller.



I wish I could find how to make Frank's. The recipes on the Internet use the actual Frank's hot sauce as an ingredient.


I tried a copy-cat recipe one and it was underwealming. Later, I came across https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHlk4GviDXk which talks about their process. I think a key difference between the copy-cat recipes and real Franks is purely the fermentation. It's likely worth giving it a try with the fermentation advice going on here.


What’s your recommended hot sauce for eggs?


I've been enjoying La Posta Hatch Smoked Chile the past month. It's nice and smoky with a decent kick. My last bottle was African Rhino Peri-Peri, which is a much brighter sauce then the smokey ones.

Cantina Royale’s Tomasa hot sauce (more of a chili oil) is my favorite for eggs or potatoes. It has a nice smoky chili flavor and decent heat level.

The runner up (and my favorite sauce for beans and rice) is The Brinery’s Aura Solanales. It’s like a fresher, more vibrant version of Franks/Crystal.

Chili Crunch is nice on eggs.
