The Hot Ones Buffalo Sauce That's Actually The Worst On Store Shelves - Tasting Table
Briefly

Since its launch in 2015, "Hot Ones" has thrived as a cultural sensation, enticing wing sauce enthusiasts. However, upon reviewing 12 buffalo sauces, the show's Classic Hot Sauce emerged as the least favored option. While it features a recognizable branding and is meant to be approachable for guests, the sauce lacks in heat and flavor complexity. It utilizes chile de arbol but fails to offer the robust experience found in other notable hot sauces, such as Cholula. Overall, it struggles to make a significant impact in the buffalo sauce category.
We tried and ranked 12 different store-bought buffalo sauces and ranked Hot Ones' Classic Hot Sauce as the worst buffalo sauce, falling short of expectations.
While the Hot Ones Classic Hot Sauce incorporates chile de arbol for mild heat, it fails to stand out compared to other more complex flavors in the market.
With a dominant sweet pepper flavor, Hot Ones Classic Hot Sauce is described as just okay, aligning with traditional buffalo sauce but lacking excitement.
Despite its popularity as a sauce on the show, the Hot Ones Classic Hot Sauce does not deliver as a traditional buffalo sauce.
