Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
Frank's RedHot Original is a mild cayenne hot sauce—aged cayenne peppers, distilled vinegar, water, salt and garlic powder—built to be mixed into sauces as much as poured from the bottle. It was used in the original Buffalo wing recipe developed at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York in 1964, which made it the American benchmark for wing sauce. McCormick acquired the brand in 2017.
