Frank's RedHot Original Seasoning Blend, 4.12 oz

A small packet of this came with one of our Hello Fresh dinners and liked it so much I ordered a couple of bottles to have on hand.

Wow would I have bought this sooner! You don't need a lot for great flavor and heat. About 10 years ago I made THE perfect ham and cheese sandwich using a brand whose name I've long forgotten. It was the tastiest, juiciest, more succulent and flavorful thin, deli-style cut of ham (with its natural edging, "classic trim" I think?) but with just the right amount of spice and "sizzle" to it. Since then I've scoured supermarkets in search of what was lost to no avail. THIS is just about as close to what I can remember. It does taste exactly like the sauce so you'll get a healthy dose of that stereotypical wing sauce flavor for sure but with very noticeable yet subtle tones of rich hot pepper flavor, as opposed to just raw heat like most all hot sauces on the market. I've noticed most all hot sauces I've tried are 80-90% heat maybe 10-20% noticeable flavor you can actually taste in between all the heat. This is more like 50-50 or 60-40, which is very neat because even though traditional hot sauces are great for soups or chili, you can easily overdo it if you're just looking for a mild background heat that won't overwhelm or subdue the flavor for something like a sandwich or a salad or even a high-end fish or chicken. So, per volume, it's obviously less concentrated "pure heat" than the sauce, offering more flexibility over the flavor profile of a dish, but wholly redeems itself by way of the deep yet subtle flavor of the spices themselves. Bit iffy on the corn maltodextrin and I'd kind of like to know what the "Natural Flavors" are but welcome to shopping in the modern age I guess, after all, perfection is a fool's desire.

Delicious on many foods. We like it on chicken breast tenders. My son loves it on hard boiled eggs. Good flavor less vinegar punch than the sauce, same delicious buffalo flavor.

Not a huge fan of this on meat but combined with cheddar cheese powder and a hint of ranch powder, it makes fantastic popcorn seasoning.

So good. You don’t need to put a lot on your popcorn but it’s a good flavor for a change from regular buttered popcorn.

Sprinkle this on your wings and let set for about 15 minutes before frying. You wont even need sauce, but I do add it. Awesome flavor.

I'm obsessed with this stuff. I had no idea it was even a thing until I got it in a hello Fresh box, and now I'm obsessed. I put it on chicken, mix it into breadcrumbs for breading, put it in the flour for fried chicken...It's a powdery dust and doesn't come out super evenly, but whatever. It's delicious. You'll figure it out.

I'm torn on this product. I'm a huge fan of Frank's buffalo sauce so had high hopes for this product. I was most excited to try it as a seasoning for baked chicken but it was a little underwhelming - the flavors were muted and didn't give the acidic punch I was hoping for. On a whim I added it to a pot of Mac and Cheese and it made a world of difference turning a fairly bland meal into a delicious and spicy dinner. It's good, but perhaps not as good as their brand of buffalo sauce.
