Title: BBQ Sauce Review - Frank's Red Hot Thick Sauce Buffalo 'N BBQ
Post by: Bar-B-Lew on February 06, 2020, 08:15:56 PM: Frank's Red Hot Thick Sauce Buffalo 'N BBQ

Sauce Profile
1. Tomato Base
2. Very THICK
3. Slightly Spicy

This is a THICK tomato paste style BBQ sauce that has a primary ingredient of Frankâ€™s Hot Sauce. My initial reaction was a KC Masterpiece Spicy BBQ sauce clone. After a further sampling, I think it is slightly spicier and less tasty than what I remember from 20 years ago of the KC Spicy. The tomato paste, cane molasses, and corn starch must be what makes this so thick. I canâ€™t really taste the Frankâ€™s flavor, but can feel some heat.

My jury is still out on this sauce. I tried it as a dipping sauce for some spicy Italian sausage links that I dipped into it. I think the sausage was spicier than the sauce. It certainly worked as a dipping sauce for sausage, and would probably work with chicken tenders or fingers too. I suspect it would be fine as a sauce on grilled chicken due to its thickness. Would probably work in pulled pork and maybe even on pork/beef ribs or brisket too. Itâ€™s thickness may work great on BBQ.

I put this sauce on my finger and it hung there for at least 10 seconds without any inclination that it would drip. Not that my friends is THICK.

The "where to buy" button on their site returns nothing for Phoenix. I did see it on ebay for $13. :o.
