Answer 2

most hot sauces do not use chili's,,,,,,. they are used more in BBQ sauces...... but not all, some do contain chili peppers.

they are used more, as spicing up food dishes,,,, soups and omelets for instance.... and of course chili.
most Louisiana hot sauces are cayenne and habenero and even red peppers.. they are better for hot sauces.

doesn't mean you cant use these chili's.... just pulverize them ( some prefer to completely dry them first) in a blender and add some salt and vinegar as base,,,, from there,,, water and any other spice you want to add.

Answer 3

Make sure when you make the hot sauce to use the proper herbs/spices. Do you want a smokey/spicey flavor or just spicey?

Spices: Cuman, Pepper flakes, Cayenne Pepper

Those will help too. Have you tried researching different recipes or techniques? Just google it or go to www.foodtv.com
