[VIC] Frank's Red Hot Original Sauce 3.78L $22.99 (In-Store Only) @ Costco (Paid Membership)

620

This is ridiculously cheap for Frank's hot sauce which at its lowest at Colesworth is $1.50 per 150ml so a gallon for $23 should last a real long time. I find it goes particularly well with a steamed ham.

Found at Epping Costco. Enjoy.

      It's more flavourful than hot.

      • +7

        if you like vinegar flavour

        • +7

          Best heated in a saucepan with 85% franks, 5% butter, 5% hot sauce of your desired heat level and 5% honey.

          Then tell me that is not the best buffalo sauce.

            @Andoes: I go for a higher butter content, but you are not wrong

          • +2

            @Andoes: thanks ill try this.

            usually i do just 50/50 butter and franks.

  • Excellent. Anyone seen this in store in Adelaide?

    • Holy crap! Nice find.

  • What does it taste closes too? Nandos? Is it actually spicy?

    • +2

      Nandos? No way, nandos has lemon and herbs and stuff. This is like a milder Tabasco sauce, very similar.

    • +4

      It's not really spicy, quite mild. It has a bit of a vinegar taste.

    • +1

      A milder Tabasco with less vinegary taste is about right description. It's quite nice but not as complex as Nandos/Cholula sauces.

    • Like Louisiana, Cholula, Tapatio, Valentina.

    • +1

      No. But it is delicious. I put it on almost everything.

    • +1

      Overly salty. Go Crystal over this 1000% times over.

    • +1

      This stuff is the original buffalo wing flavour

  • +3

    Yum! Love Frank's but I'd never use that much. Maybe if someone makes Buffalo Wings.

  • +4

    SkinnneeeerrrrrrRRRRRRR!!!!

    • +15

      This sauces really does make for an incredible luncheon on your steamed hams.

      • +2

        Nothing like a steamed ham when observing the aurora borealis in your kitchen.

  • Hold up… there's a costco at Epping?

    • +10

      nvm wrong epping

  • +1

    a Gallon for $23 should last a real long time

    But no more than about 17 months, according to the bottle ;)

  • …someone likes hot-sauce!

    • Franks is amazing. Try it with Chicken Wings.

      • I think you mean the famous Buffalo sauce for Buffalo wings.

  • +2

    Too late I'm already addicted to Sriracha instead

    • +2

      Nah see I have 2 hot sauces. Sriracha and Franks. Franks is good for some things, Sriracha others. With both of these I have all I ever need :D

  • At this time of year?

  • What the hell happened to the hot sauces at Costco Moorabbin? Few months back they had NO Hot sauces, except Tabasco.

    • +1

      Panic buying.

      • +1

        Yeah, the toilet paper shortage had nothing to do with COVID. It was brought on by chilli sauce. Am I the only one who sees the connection?

  • Does Costco have this in smaller quantities, but larger than the micro amount available at Woolies?

  • +21

    Franks is excellent for buffalo wings. If you want to make an excellent finishing sauce for wings, here is my recipe below. Just melt the butter on low and then mix in the franks and then add the rest of the ingredients. Mix on low until blended and then coat your wings. See my blue cheese dipping sauce as well below. Adjust both to your taste for less heat or less whatever. I like my blue cheese dressing to have some texture to it and a strong blue cheese taste. Tend to just use the Castello creamy blue. Mix all together and refrigerate while your wings are cooking.
    Buffalo Sauce
    3/4 cup Franks Red Hot Original hot sauce
    1/2 cup butter
    2 teaspoon extra hot cayenne pepper
    2 teaspoons garlic powder
    2 teaspoons onion powder
    1/4 cup brown sugar

    Blue Cheese Dressing
    200g blue cheese
    3 tablespoons buttermilk
    3 tablespoons sour cream
    2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    1/4 teaspoon sugar
    2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
    2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
    1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
    salt and pepper

      Thanks, this is Rolls Royce stuff. For the daunted, a Corolla version for Blue Cheese sauce is just mashed up blue cheese, mayo and sour cream

    • +1

      Sounds good.

      What is the recommended method to cook these? A lot of recipes call for the wings to be deep fried. I haven't been willing to try that method yet.

      • +2

        Nowadays I rub them with a nice rub and cook them on my Weber kettle over charcoal with some cherry wood smoke. I don’t like deep frying either. But a method I used to do that is easy and gets amazing results is a twice cooked method. Steam the wings for 10min. Let them cool on a cooling rack. Pat wings as dry as you can get them. Cover in a rub or salt and pepper. Cook in oven at 220c for 20min, turn them and cook for another 20min. You’ll get super moist wings but very crispy on the outside. Then toss in the buffalo sauce from above.

      • The Corolla version? Just buy them pre-marinated for $8/kg from Woolies and put them on a tray in the oven for 25 minutes at about 180. Then add the Franks-based dipping sauce and the blue cheese sauce.

        I tried frying them and it's better but not better enough to be worth the hassle.

  • this similar to tabasco?

    see all the chefs on youtube use this.

    this ain't one of those sauces that is just filled with fructose is it?

    • Different to Tabasco, more vinegar based and less heat. Franks is delicious. Buy a $3 bottle from Coles and give it a go. Great on anything.

      • Disagree, tabasco tastes much more vinegary. Both are nice though.

    • Less vinegar. But much more salt.
      Better as a wing sauce IMO

  • +2

    I put that sh1t on everything

  • +1

    If you haven't tried Franks and boiled eggs you haven't lived

  • -2

    Watery and overrated

  • Note: Warm its similar to tobasco, cold it thickens up.

  • +1

    I'd be set for buffalo wings for the rest of the year.

      …someone likes buffalo wings!

  • Is this better than the green coolant?

  • +1

    Picked on up today, thanks for the post. I love this on Korean Fried Chicken, or a slice of pizza. This will set me up for a while.

  • This available at Costco Crossroads Sydney aswell

  • Checked my local Costco and they no longer stock the item. They have no plans to bring more in :(
