10 Best Hot Sauces UK 2022

American favourite Tabasco Red Pepper sauce is a classic that's been made in the same way for over 140 years! We love that it consists of just 3 simple ingredients (fully aged red peppers, salt, and high-quality, distilled vinegar), which give it a delightfully tangy flavour. 

Plus, it's extremely versatile so it works well with a variety of cuisines; pour it into bolognese, splash it over seafood, or mix it into a stir fry. Affordable, delicious, and made with high-quality ingredients - what more could you want from a hot sauce?

If you've ever been to a Thai restaurant, you'll immediately recognise the packaging of this famous sriracha sauce by Vietnamese-American brand Huy Fong. Made from sun-ripened chillies and a generous amount of garlic, this condiment tastes amazing!

The handy nozzle on this bottle means you can drizzle it over any dish you like - chicken, pizza, kebab, or chips. It doesn't come cheap, but it's pretty cost-effective as you get a huge bottle!

We couldn't include a peri peri sauce on our list without mentioning Nando's! Their signature condiment gets its kick from green chilli, as well as spices like cayenne pepper, paprika, and African bird's eye chili.

This product tastes great with everything - chicken, vegetables, tortilla chips, and more. But as it's definitely one of our hotter picks, only purchase it if you can stand the heat! 

This set of 4 bottles by Modern Gourmet Foods has a fantastic variety of flavours that range from moderate to extreme heat. As it doesn't contain a mild sauce, it's probably best suited to someone who has a high spice tolerance.

We think this product would make a lovely gift and the fact that you get multiple bottles for under a tenner makes it excellent value for money!

This fruity and hot original hot sauce by Sauce Shop won a Great Taste Award in 2019, and we can see why! It’s hot, but not too hot, and very garlicky! 

Try this wonderful condiment with a range of foods, from Indian curries to East Asian noodle dishes - it's not too spicy so it complements pretty much any kind of cuisine!

This fermented gochujang paste by CJ Bibigo provides a yummy balance of sweet, savoury, and spicy flavours. It's ready to use as a dip or just add a few teaspoons to whatever you're cooking to amp up the spice level.

Although this tub is a little pricey, it's to be expected considering it's not available in most British supermarkets. Plus, you get a huge amount of product for your money!

This fiery condiment by Queen Majesty combines scotch bonnet, ginger, and orange bell peppers to provide a seriously hot taste. Loosely based on a Jamaican recipe, it'll taste amazing alongside a plate of fried plantain or some saltfish fritters.

The only downside to this product is the high price - a tenner for just one bottle of sauce is pretty steep! Especially when it's so tasty that you'll find yourself using it regularly in the kitchen.

Made with green habanero chillies, this moderately hot sauce by El Yucateco is perfect if you want to re-create authentic Mexican dishes at home. Put a few drops into some guacamole or pour into chilli con carne for a spicy kick.

Although this is a good quality product, it unfortunately comes in an extremely small bottle for the price, which is the reason why it's so low on our list!
