Keith's Hot Sauce
Keith Habersberger rose to fame with The Try Guys, created with friends Ned Fulmer, Eugene Lee Yang and Zach Kornfield. With his "Eat the Menu" series, Keith solidified his role in the foodiverse by eating every menu item at some of America's favorite restaurants. When Keith reached out to us about creating a hot sauce based on his love of buffalo sauce and ranch dressing, we knew he was on to something special. After months of testing and honing flavors, we came up with a super-tasty combination of serrano peppers, Vermont maple syrup, roasted red pepper, maple wood smoked onions, a ranch like mix of garlic scapes, dill, parsley, chives and black pepper, plus sour cream powder for creaminess. And thus, Keith's Chicken Sauce was born!
That tangy, mild, flavorful hot sauce quickly became a hit among Try Guys fans and hot sauce lovers alike. In fact, Keith Habersberger fans loved Chicken Sauce so much that we decided to create hot sauces for Keith's other favorite foods: burgers and tacos. Keith's Burger Sauce and Keith's Taco Sauce were introduced shortly after, making mealtime more delicious with not-too-hot smoked serrano peppers and jalapenos. Now Keith takes his sauces with him on his Try Guys and Eat the Menu adventures to spice up even the most lackluster menu items. Most recently, a new Keith's Hot Sauce was introduced: introducing Keith's Hot Chicken Sauce!

We don't ask our small-batch hot sauce makers to get each and every sauce Scoville tested as Scoville units are mostly used for peppers, and testing can be a lengthy and sometimes costly process. For sauces, we prefer to use a 1-10 scale, with 1 being the mildest hot sauces, 5 for medium hot sauces and 10 for the hottest hot sauces. Keith's Chicken Sauce is a 2/10 with mild jalapeño (2,000 to 8,000 Scoville Heat Units or SHU) and serrano peppers (10,000 to 23,000 Scoville Heat Units or SHU). Burger Sauce and Taco Sauce are around 3/10 with a similar pepper blend. Keith's newest hot sauce, Keith's Hot Chicken Sauce is a 4/10 thanks to a handful of ghost peppers (up to 1 million Scoville Heat Units) in each batch.
