Hot sauce

Hot sauce is in 16 recipes, and the choice of bottle changes the dish more than the quantity does. Vinegar-forward sauces like Frank's are as much acid as heat and work stirred into mayonnaise or butter; thicker chilli-garlic sauces such as sriracha bring sugar and body and behave more like a glaze. In fried chicken builds here the sauce is usually mixed with fat rather than applied neat, because oil carries capsaicin and spreads the heat evenly instead of leaving hot spots.
