- The package height of the product is 2.5 inches
- Specialty: Organic
Features:
I've recently made Melinda's Red Savina my workhorse sauce. It's habanero-based so the heat is well-balanced with hints of fruitiness, but the reason I use it on almost everything these days is the flavor – it just tastes natural.
Bonus: Melinda's Naga Jolokia is superhot, but still has a distinct fruity flavor (unlike Dave's naga jolokia, which I feel has no real flavor, just heat). So if your tolerance has gotten really high, give it a go.
Also, I would like to mention that I am in no way affiliated with Melinda's – I just genuinely love the stuff, and it's easily found in stores (or at least where I live). xD
Of course most cost effective would be to make your own hot sauce w/habaneros, fermented or otherwise. If you are open to something very hot, but can be flexible with heat level depending on what you put it in/on, I would recommend a jar of Reaper mash. I buy a 9oz jar from Amazon for about $14, which sounds like a lot, but it is SPICY and pretty neutral in flavor:
https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Plant-Carolina-Reaper-Pepper/dp/B00NDAY6G8/ref=pd_rhf_sc_p_img_9?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=NEGKGVGV3HRWBJMVB8C1&th=1
If I want to go very high heat, I may add a teaspoon, sometimes, I just add a dab or two for single serving stuff. A little bit can heat up a whole pot of chili. I tend to really like things hot, and my last jar lasted me about a year. Just gotta keep in in the fridge for freshness.
Edit: oh, you could also extend it and add some vinegar for more of a tabasco flavor. The mash is quite versatile.
Busha Browns is my current favorite, went through my first bottle pretty quickly and just picked up 3 more today. For something a little spicier I like Melinda's Naga Jolokia. I just picked up like 10 new sauces today so maybe I'll have a new favorite soon haha
Mama Zuma's by Route 11 is awesome. It's decently hot but they're also just delicious. The heat and flavor is great.
https://www.amazon.com/Route-11-Potato-Revenge-Habanero/dp/B00B5LU6HK/ref=sr_1_1_a_it/132-6395504-8448203?ie=UTF8&qid=1539550885&sr=8-1&keywords=mama+zuma%27s+revenge+chips
By 'under ten' do you mean bucks or heat rating??
My alltime favourite hot sauce is this Moruga Trinidad Scorpion Blood Orange hot sauce
It is amazing.
Edit: I have about 40 hot sauces currently so saying this is the best is a true compliment.
I'm a huge fan of Iguana Radioactive, it's maybe not a huge step up in heat but it has great flavor and goes great on tacos. I can tear through a bottle in just a week or two.
Well, as long as you keep homemade sauces refrigerated, they will degrade in taste quality well before they reach a stage where they are unsafe. It's just like any other food you would make: refrigerate what you can consume within a week and freeze the rest.
Sauces that have plenty of salt and/or vinegar have longer shelf lives. A really good recipe will tell you how the sauce should be stored and how long it will hold. I recommend starting with a good hot sauce cookbook, such as The Hot Sauce Cookbook by Walsh or Hot Sauce! by Thompson.
Once you decide to make a larger batch and can it, then food safety becomes more of an issue, since you'll be holding at room temperature for extended periods. At that point, the US Department of Agriculture's got you covered, with their excellent website on home food preservation.

Mentioned elsewhere but it is Lao Gan Ma. Lee Kum Kee is best for just about all the rest of the stuff I get like that though (hoisin, oyster, dark soy, etc), they may have an equivalent sauce. I know they have a chili garlic sauce, chili bean sauce and chili oil, but I don't know what the OP's sauces taste like for comparison.
I looooove Lee Kum Kee brand.
It depends on flavor profile more than anything. /u/urnbabyurn has it down. That will be amazing.
But you could do a simpler dish of sorts you could make a green curry without lots of coconut milk (or any for that matter) with a simple paste and fish sauce that will pack a pretty good punch. Stuff like Mae Ploy
I love this stuff http://www.amazon.com/Bhut-Jolokia-Ghost-Powder-Very/dp/B004C9PTCE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394679253&sr=8-1&keywords=ghost+pepper+powder . I carry it with me and use it almost daily. It adds a good level of heat and complexity. It seems to pair best with Mexican food, chili and BBQ.
Agree with using reaper powder, but this is way more for your money. Amazon lists it as 1.5 oz but it’s actually two and is very hot and very versatile. Just be careful, it is super fine (do not try to smell it).
You can make mustard out of banana peppers. It's one of my absolute favorite sandwich spreads.
I grew an over abundance of banana peppers one year, so I messed around with them a lot. The hotter the better.
Also, Carolina Gold Vinegar Pepper Sauce is fucking amazing. I guess it's considered a BBQ sauce, but it's great as a hot sauce.
also known as [scotch bonnet peppers](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_bonnet_(pepper). having recently come back from Saint Martin and experiencing these and their associated sauces firsthand, i will tell you that they are the bomb.
this was sitting on the table in most restaurants and i came back with a couple homemade bottles as well. definitely worth checking out if you get the chance!
This is my current favorite. Decent heat and tastes great!
Walkerswood Jamaican Scotch Bonnet Pepper Sauce, Hot, 6 Ounce
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MGSRBG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4v71BbWS69RZW
It’s not like “melt your face off” hot but it’s got a good kick-to-flavor-ratio. Secondly if you can find it locally (Kroger for me) it’s like $3.
I haven't tried it nor do I know where to find it but I do have some experience with spicy rubs. I smoke a lot of meats so I am always making rubs. I generally find a rub recipe I like and add some carolina reaper powder to taste. It leaves it pretty flexible and bottle of the reaper powder will make a shitload of rub. I believe [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Carolina-Reaper-Pepper-Wicked-Hottest/dp/B00U5G7IN6/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1482996427&sr=8-4&keywords=carolina+reaper+powder) is the stuff I have been using (not home so I can't verify).
An awesome chili peanut snack is these "Magic Chili and Peanuts". It's got huge rounds of dry-fried crispy chili nuggets. They're not especially spicy, but the texture and taste are awesome. Only $5 or $6/bag at 99 Ranch 99.
https://www.amazon.com/Huang-Spicy-Snack-Peanut-Crunchy/dp/B00KSLYH3C
If you like challenges, I recommend the following:
If you prefer sauces you can cook and eat freely, then I recommend:
My personal favorite is Dave's Scorpion Pepper Sauce.
Its very spicy, but the scorpion pepper in general has a great flavor and this sauce doesn't add any extra flavors.
Melinda's Naga Jolokia Sauce is another good one.
This one is made with the ghost pepper, and is also very spicy.
The only place I know to get it is Amazon. I think the best deal there is for about $11 you can get a 2 oz shaker:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00U5G7IN6/
They've shipped promptly each time I've ordered it, so delivery was pretty quick.
I enjoyed this one and didn't find it unreasonably spicy or inedible. There's only one ramen that I've tried that was so over-the-top spicy that it was physically painful to try to eat and I couldn't enjoy it. That is this one: https://www.amazon.com/18-prohibited-curry-ramen/dp/B010IRFJMS , the 18+ only curry ramen. Me posting this should not be taken as an endorsement to try it - I really wanted to like it but it was so difficult to eat, I ended up not finishing it.
None of the Samyang noodles gave me that issue. They're all great.
Lao gan ma brand chili sauces are some of the most popular in China--all my Chinese friends swear by it, as do I. I personally favor the flavor of the black bean sauce.
https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Aardvark-Habanero-Sauce/dp/B00AIR3Q38
This is pretty much the best sauce ever made.
it’s crispy chili flakes in oil
check the ingredients for potential allergy issues - it has MSG and peanuts I believe
Lao gan ma is the most popular brand, but other brands have been hitting the market, due to the massive success
Tapatio is what I put on anything that most "normal" people eat. Gotta love it. I also have learned to love El Yucateco recently too hot for most of my friends but the flavor is so perfect.
It's not so much a hot sauce, but it is delicious.
MASH Carolina Reaper Pepper,9 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NDAY6G8/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_qlM2wbVHT3Y5Q
Lao Gan Ma is awesome. Its pretty easy to find at the asian grocery stores, or on amazon, but its legit.
I LOVE this stuff https://www.amazon.com/Iguana-RadioActive-Atomic-Pepper-Sauce/dp/B0014KZM7G
There's a good base recipe in Robb Walsh's The Hot Sauce Cookbook. Search your local library online; you might luck out.
https://www.amazon.com/Daves-Gourmet-Scorpion-Pepper-Sauce/dp/B004QO5E0M/
Probably the best Dave's Sauce IMO. I don't think you'll find any real artisan stuff on Amazon under $10, so you might have to go with the bigger labels.
If maybe he'd like the powdered version as well, I'd try Wicked Reaper.
Serious heat, and I feel like it will last me all year. Two light sprinkles to a full bowl of food and you're all set for the heat.
I have some of this and it is spectacular. Makes all salsa better. Thanks for the heads up on this.
I'm partial to these sichuan spicy peanuts: http://www.amazon.com/Huang-Chilli-Pepper-Snack-Peanuts/dp/B004GXXFK4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422721439&sr=8-1&keywords=huang+fei+hong
Also these fried peppers are awesome!
http://www.amazon.com/Huang-Spicy-Snack-Peanut-Crunchy/dp/B00KSLYH3C/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1422721439&sr=8-6&keywords=huang+fei+hong
You might like Matouk's Calypso Sauce, it's made with Scotch Bonnet peppers which have a nice fruitiness to them!
Angry lady sauce
http://www.amazon.com/Lao-Gan-Chili-Crisp-Sauce/dp/B0051D84JU
This is my go to for all Asian dishes now - fantastic taste and easy to modulate heat depending on how much you add.
lol Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/El-Yucateco-Chile-Habanero-Sauce/dp/B0000GHNT0
One that I'm surprised wasn't listed here is Dave's Gourmet Scorpion sauce
https://www.amazon.com/Daves-Gourmet-Scorpion-Pepper-Sauce/dp/B004QO5E0M/
Magic Chili with Peanuts I can't stop eating it once I open the bag!
I see the Dave's ghost pepper, have you tried Melinda's Naga Jolokia? I've always felt it's the ghost pepper sauce with the best flavor to go with the heat.
https://www.amazon.com/Melindas-Naga-Jolokia-Hot-Sauce/dp/B002ATCFX4
I'm hoping they taste like Mama Zuma's Revenge but I'm sure I'll be disappointed.
these are all prime eligable:
Satan's Blood
Lao Gan Ma Chili Crisp
Secret Aardvark might be up your alley
Picked this up a few days ago at an Asian grocery store (?). They had lots of tasty-looking sauces, and this one certainly piqued my interest. It has great heat and that traditional scotch bonnet flavor we've all come to love and joy. I've always been a hab guy, but coat a chicken breast in this stuff and you've got one hell of a dead bird. Mmmmm.
For those interested, here's a link to its Amazon reviews: Link
And here's a place to purchase for cheaper (Hotsauce.com): Link
Kinda
Turns out I read the listing wrong and amazon don't actually sell the ghost one, I was looking at the Naga Jolokia one (didn't realise they were different).
Amazon sucks for hot sauces. I usually use Chilli Bugs but have never thought to look in Tk Maxx before.
