There’s something satisfying about making your own barbecue sauce and watching it slowly reduce and thicken to the perfect consistency to mop onto chicken or ribs. It makes the kitchen smell so good and your stomach rumble with anticipation. We don’t always have time to do that, though, do we? When that’s the case, we reach for a bottle of store-bought BBQ sauce.

It’s the same with hot sauce. You can make your own hot sauce, but it’s always a good idea to have a bottle (or two or three) of store-bought hot sauce in the pantry. Now Sweet Baby Ray’s, the producer of one of the best store-bought barbecue sauces—in our taste test, we rated it the “BBQ sauce with the best bang for your buck”—has released three new hot sauces to have on hand when you need a dash or two of flavorful heat in a dish.

Sweet Baby Ray’s already has a versatile version, its Original Hot Sauce, which is the base of all the brand’s Buffalo Wing Sauces. Now, it’s released three new varieties to add even more versatility to its hot sauce line. We have the details on each sauce, plus some ideas on how to use each one.

  • Sweet Baby Ray’s Kickin’ Barbecue Hot Sauce: Hot sauce meets barbecue sauce. It’s a mix of sweet and smoky flavors of barbecue with a mild kick of heat from aged red cayenne. Add it directly onto a burger or drizzle it on cheese pizza.

  • Sweet Baby Ray’s Spicy Garlic Hot Sauce: This hot sauce has the flavors of robust garlic and aged red cayenne, striking a balance of heat and flavor. Use it in crab dip or as the hot sauce in this steak marinade.

  • Sweet Baby Ray’s Smoked Chipotle Hot Sauce: With a distinctive smokey flavor and an irresistible blend of signature spices, try this one in Chipotle Chili or shake it on to season fried eggs.

Spring and summer are the perfect seasons to experiment with hot sauces because so many recipes you cook on the grill can get an extra burst of flavor from these heat-packed condiments. We’re particularly curious how switching the hot sauce varieties would change this Southwestern Roasted Corn Salad. The spicy possibilities are endless.
