Hot Ones, the hugely successful and fun interview show on YouTube has brought many hot sauces to the mainstream. They’ve popularized the Scoville scale and made Da Bomb iconic for being ridiculously spicy.
First We Feast and HEATONIST, the team behind the show, are expanding their sauce offerings to the BBQ world. They’ve released a series of four BBQ sauces and, of course, they bring some heat.
You can get the new sauces at major retailers like Walmart, Kroger, Jewell Osco, and HEB. They also will be available on the Hot Ones website.
Hot Ones has always been about chasing bold flavor and big heat, so bringing BBQ sauce into the universe felt like the natural next step. These sauces take everything we love about classic barbecue—smoky, tangy, a little sweet—and crank it up with real chili peppers so every bite brings the spice like a Hot Ones sauce should

Unlike some of the tear-inducing sauces on the show, the BBQ sauce collection all has medium spice level. They’re rolling out the line with the following flavors.
- Hot Ones Original Hot BBQ
- Hot Ones Hot Honey BBQ
- Hot Ones Smoky Serrano BBQ
- Hot Ones Caribbean BBQ
For over a decade we’ve been adding excitement to our fans’ food with our hot sauces, and when we thought of where to go next, BBQ was beckoning. We’re thrilled with the level of bold spice and complex flavor in these sauces, and think everyone from the amateur pit master to the family cooking up a crockpot of pulled pork will be excited by it, too. This is going to be a delicious summer!

First We Feast and HEATONIST are pros at making delicious sauces. They’re bringing something a little different to the BBQ sauce section and I’m excited to try the flavors. I’ll have to line-up four ribs and do my own tamer version of the Hot Ones BBQ sauce challenge.
