It’s no secret that Rach likes her food to have a bit (or a lot) of a kick. (Our girl loves her hot sauce!)
Since a lot of you seem to be on the same page (for starters, you recently loved her Crab Fra Diavolo and Spaghetti), we thought we’d scour Amazon for some of the bestselling spicy foods that people are loving right now. (Okay, some of them are a bit polarizing…)
1. Mike’s Hot Honey
This one didn’t surprise us! Culinary team member Jeanette Donnarumma has called it one of her food obsessions. “I actually got turned onto it from Rachael,” Jeanette says. “She has been using hot honey on the show for a few years now.” (When she doesn’t make her own, that is!)
Try it with Rach’s Meatless Cheeseburgers With Hot Honey or her Hot Blonde Pan Pizza.
2. TRUFF Hot Sauce
Even though it was 4.5 stars, this one does seem a bit polarizing! It might not be for everyone, but some reviewers are OBSESSED, with one saying, “This stuff will change your life” and another saying it’s “among the absolute best.” (FYI—Rach and Oprah are TRUFF fans!)
3. CJ Haechandle Gochujang (Red Pepper Paste)
The general consensus among reviewers seems to be that this one is really spicy (even for people who love spice)—but really good if you’re ready for it. Your call!
4. bibigo Gochujang Spicy BBQ Sauce
If you like some sweet with your spicy, this one’s for you: “The BEST Gochujang sauce!!!” said one reviewer, and another said it’s even “better than sriracha.”
Rach is a fan of the bibigo Gochujang Hot & Sweet Sauce and uses it in her Korean-Style Chicken and Vegetables.
5. Da’Bomb Beyond Insanity Original Hot Sauce
This one seems to really (no, like, really!) live up to its name, with reviewers calling it “ridiculously hot” or “the hottest hot sauce I’ve ever [tasted].” So, don’t say we didn’t warn you!
6. Secret Aardvark Habanero Hot Sauce
People are loving this one for it’s “tolerable” heat level—though beware, one reviewer says it’s just a “slow heat”—and its focus on great flavor. Perhaps the most glowing review is this one: “This sauce is good. So good that I’ll always keep it around, even though I make my own sauce.”
7. Hapi Hot Wasabi Peas
While not everyone is a fan, one reviewer calls these “the best wasabi peas on the market” and another says, “I find myself just eating them by the handful as an afternoon snack.” We know the feeling—we love finding a tried-and-true afternoon snack to eat by the handful.
8. Old Fashioned Cheese Jalapeño Squeeze Cheese
We have another polarizing one on our hands, but one reviewer likes it so much that she says, “I’ve had it on bread, vegetables, chips, rice, mixed into eggs, and even straight onto the tongue.” Another says, “Buy 1 bottle be your own judge but personally I will be getting more.” Fair enough!
9. Blue Diamond Bold Spicy Dill Pickle Almonds
Some reviewers prefer Blue Diamond’s other almond flavors—and others can’t agree on if there’s too much or too little dill pickle flavor—but there are definitely fans among us: “These are absolutely DELICIOUS! Perfectly roasted, strong and tangy dill flavor with a kick of mild heat at the end!” Another says: “These are the best flavor of flavored almonds I’ve ever eaten.”
