Cholula is a fine hot sauce, but if you haven't expanded beyond it, there are sauces with a much deeper level of interesting flavors. Don't get me wrong, I'll douse a chicken wing in franks quite happily, but when it comes to my bacon and eggs in the morning, I prefer something smoked and fuller.

What’s your recommended hot sauce for eggs?

  I've been enjoying La Posta Hatch Smoked Chile the past month. It's nice and smoky with a decent kick. My last bottle was African Rhino Peri-Peri, which is a much brighter sauce then the smokey ones. https://lapostachileco.com/products/hatch-smoked-chile-hot-sauce https://lapostachileco.com/products/hatch-smoked-chile-hot-s... https://www.hotsauce.com/african-rhino-peri-peri-hot-sauce/ https://www.hotsauce.com/african-rhino-peri-peri-hot-sauce/

  Cantina Royale’s Tomasa hot sauce (more of a chili oil) is my favorite for eggs or potatoes. It has a nice smoky chili flavor and decent heat level. https://cantinaroyalhotsauce.com/collections/frontpage/products/tomasa-hot-sauce https://cantinaroyalhotsauce.com/collections/frontpage/produ... The runner up (and my favorite sauce for beans and rice) is The Brinery’s Aura Solanales. It’s like a fresher, more vibrant version of Franks/Crystal. https://www.thebrinery.com/our-products https://www.thebrinery.com/our-products

  Chili Crunch is nice on eggs.

I wish I could find how to make Frank's. The recipes on the Internet use the actual Frank's hot sauce as an ingredient.

  I tried a copy-cat recipe one and it was underwealming. Later, I came across https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHlk4GviDXk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHlk4GviDXk which talks about their process. I think a key difference between the copy-cat recipes and real Franks is purely the fermentation. It's likely worth giving it a try with the fermentation advice going on here.
