Fried Chicken: Acidity is the key
Fried chicken is delicious, but can sometimes be a bit greasy. That’s why you need a hot sauce that cuts through it. And what works better for that than a nice sour kick? Louisiana-style hot sauces are perfect for this, but really, the most important thing is that it has a good sourness with some savory ingredients.
- Poirier’s Louisiana Style, or one of the other Poirier’s hot sauces: Classic Louisiana-style hot sauces.
- Onima Cajun Sumac: A Louisiana-style sauce, but with a twist due to the addition of sumac, as well as the recognizable celery flavor.
- Hot Ones The Classic: A classic hot sauce, which also uses apple cider vinegar, providing an extra layered sourness with a sweet note. If you prefer it very garlicy, then you should go for The Classic Garlic Fresno edition!
These sauces make your fried chicken lighter and fresher. They provide the perfect balance between the crispy, fatty chicken and the fresh, spicy kick of the sauce.
Chicken Burgers: Spicy and Complex
A juicy (and potentially crispy) chicken burger calls for a hot sauce that’s just as exciting as the burger itself. Here we go for spicy, complex flavors that make your taste buds dance! Think of sauces with curry or cumin. They give your burger that extra dimension. But creamy hot sauces are also good choices, because it’s nice to put plenty of sauce on the burger that doesn’t immediately drip off. Think of it as a replacement for mayo, for example.
- The Sunny by Heatsupply: With its strong curry flavor, this is the sauce for all things chicken. Want proof? Check out this insane Indian Fried Chicken Burger. We used The Sunny for a magical madras mayo.
- The O.G. by Heatsupply: Another one from our own stable, but that’s okay when it’s been named the best hot sauce in the Netherlands 2023. The star of the show is cumin and adds complex flavors to your chicken burger in addition to good heat!
- Melinda’s Ghost Pepper Wing Sauce: Huh? But isn’t this a wing sauce? Sure, but due to its creamy character, we find this even more of a chicken burger sauce. Forget mayo and drop a hefty dose of this stuff on your sandwich. There’s also a slightly less hot version with Habanero instead of Ghost Pepper.
