  • So dang good. We use this on a lot of foods. The food pictured is smoked chicken salad on a wheat thin with a few drops of Franks. Oh so good.

  • Frank's RedHot isn't sophisticated. It doesn't pair well with everything. It's not even particularly high quality. And it's too salty. 🧂 None of that matters though. It's still my all-time favorite hot sauce. It reminds me of living in the US as a student in the early 2010s. It reminds me of clogging my arteries with buckets Buffalo chicken wings (and tenders). It reminds me of gloopy blue cheese dip, a hint of celery sticks, and that inevitable feeling that you've overdone it at dinner. 🫃 Wherever I live I'll seek out Frank's Red Hot. Frank - you've been one hell of a companion. You'll always have a home in my fridge, and I don't ever want to entertain the thought of life without you. 🌶️

  • I didn’t like this at all. I am biased though because I don’t care for buffalo sauce and that’s what it tasted like to me. But spicier as well

  • Is it my go to? No. Does it make me think about other condiments? Yes. Does that make me love it more? Yes. Any sauce that encourages other sauces is a yes in my book. Franks brings the (low) heat, so you get to cool off with ranch or blue cheese.

  • This is a solid hot sauce. Good flavor with just the right amount of spice. Great with wings

  • The quintessential buffalo sauce. Not my favorite hot sauce, objectively speaking (die-hard Tabasco girl here) but for buffalo sauce, this is THEE brand.

  • solid, can do no wrong, and is in everyone's fridge already. if you haven't had frank's then did you ever even have hot sauce

  • Franks red hot is good on so many things. It is not very hot at all, you are able to taste the flavor and it makes whatever you're eating 10x better. Also, the bottles are affordable.

  • I make a lot of fermented hot sauces and in doing so, have gotten really into researching the differences in hot sauces at the grocery. Frank's is a Louisiana style hot sauce, which means it has a high vinegar-to-pepper ratio. It's tangy and thinner than other sauces like Sriracha... But Frank's is thicker than Tabasco or Crystal, other Louisiana hot sauces. Franks is amazing on buffalo-style dishes, and it has a long shelf life because of the vinegar!

  • It's a basic tangy hot sauce. Good to add into a Buffalo wings sauce recipe. Not very spicy so I would say majority of people can 'handle' it, even those with low spice tolerance.

  • Frank's RedHot is an absolute favorite in my kitchen!!! The flavor is perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat and tang, making it incredibly versatile. I love using it on everything from wings and tacos to eggs and soups. It consistently adds that extra kick without overpowering the dish.The texture is smooth, and it blends well into recipes or as a standalone condiment. I've tried other hot sauces, but I always come back to Frank's for its distinctive taste.

  • Frank's Red Hot is a versatile hot sauce. It is mild so you can add just a little for flavor or add a lot depending on your spice tolerance. I like it alot and use it in my cooking and also in dips and garnishes.

  • It’s a cupboard staple. It’s the classic flavor that adds spice to anything. I feel like this is one of those brands that you see in most restraunts because it’s already so popular and well known and for good reason.

  • Delicious, go-to hot sauce. I eat it almost every day on scrambled eggs!

  • Classic for a reason. Frank's tastes great on everything. It's not as complex and interesting as new, high end hot sauces, but it is well balanced and reliable. Definitely keep a bottle in the fridge.
