How to Make Hot Sauce | Hot Ones Extra


Sean Evans has spent nearly 100 episodes choking down hot sauce. But does he have what it takes to make his own concoction? Anxious to turn the tables, Sean teams up with Hot Ones legend Erica Diehl—better known as Queen Majesty—for a crash-course in the hot sauce-making commandments. From a mild pineapple and jalapeño sauce to a fiery “Sicilian” scorpion blend, Sean learns how to slice, chop, and churn his way to new hot-sauce heights.



A special thank you to Homesweet Homegrown for supplying the scorpion peppers. The pineapple and jalapeño recipe will appear in a forthcoming cookbook from High River Sauce’s Steve Seabury.

  1. Boom zoom, straight to the moon– as soon as he said that, i was like, that sounds like some bill cosby shit hahaha

  2. Leaving seeds in will only add a minute amount of heat, beyond popular belief, the seeds have nothing to do with the amount of capsaicin in the pepper.

  3. You said that grilling the pineapple adds more flavor depth, why don't you grill the onions for the same reason?

  4. You don't need gloves handling peppers unless your a wimp. I never use gloves when handling ghost peppers, and I make Salsa and pickles with ghost peppers.
