>Like spicy food
>Like sauce
>Like flavor

What's a decent hot sauce that I can add to things that will make it spicy but also has a good flavor?
I hate straight up heat, it's so boring, but I also hate sauces that say they're hot and they aren't much.

What do you guys like?

>Lousiana, Tapatio, Texas Pete
All trash. Low heat and poor flavor.
>Tabasco, Frank's
Mid-tier. Heat and flavor are fine. Especially good with chicken.
>Sriacha
Meme-tier. It's pretty good, but the garlic doesn't meld with a lot of things in my opinion, namely, eggs, chicken, and mexican food. I use it to add garlic and heat.
>Sambal Oelek
The one true scotsman. This is the only option for hot sauce. It has stomach-warming heat, texture, and it tastes like peppers.

Best with eggs tier.

jalapeno stuff is pretty flavorful, but generally not very hot
look into habanero-based sauces (not tabasco habanero though, something consisting mostly of habanero), habaneros have more flavor than normal cayenne chillies and also quite a bit more heat
blair's original or after death sauce is a good example regardless of the cringy chillihead marketing, tasty and quite hot but not ridiculously so

I like the Pickapeppa brand, if you see it try it out.
Also recommend picking up some horseradish. Not all your heat needs to come from vinegar and pepper based sauces.

The variety of flavors is so huge it's not really possible to recommend 1 sauce.

If you're looking to maximize heat and have decent flavor, Vicious Viper is my rec.

It says 2 million SHU, but doesn't taste like it. Don't get me wrong, it burns like hell. But it also has a great mix of tropical flavors in it.

It also has the consistency of Louisiana hot sauce, so it's not some thick goop that you can't just sprinkle onto your food.

It's hard to describe the flavor of that line, it's just damn good. Like a better version of a chipotle pepper is the only thing I could come up with. I don't think the 357 Scorpian is as hot as the 357 Ghost Pepper if you were looking to go hotter. It's a really good sauce to introduce to people who are just getting into the super hots because you get hit with the great flavor first and the heat creeps up afterwards, rather than heat on contact.

This is honestly the best hot sauce I've tried in the last few years. It's not painful hot but it tastes great and the heat lasts for a decent length of time.
