Share
With Season 23 in the bag, it’s time for another spicy season of celebrity guests taking on the legendary Hot Ones gauntlet for our amusement. Enter Season 24. If you’re here, you know exactly what’s coming—sweat, tears, and fiery wings. Let’s get right into it and explore the hot sauces that will be burning up screens (and taste buds) in this new season.
Sean’s Take on the Season 24 Line-Up
Host Sean Evans has introduced another blazing line-up of sauces, ranging from tangy and mild to those that scorch with mind-melting heat. Here’s a breakdown of what Season 24 has in store:
1. Hot Ones The Classic Garlic Fresno Hot Sauce (1,700 Scoville)
Leading off is The Classic Garlic Fresno, bringing back its signature combo of tart vinegar, garlic, and fresh Fresno chillies from Smokin’ Ed’s fields. After a season with the Buffalo Sauce in the starter spot, Hot Ones is back to the familiar flavours of tangy garlic goodness. As Sean says, this versatile sauce goes with almost anything, making it the perfect intro to what’s sure to be a rollercoaster of heat.
2. Double Comfort Seeing Double Hot Sauce (6,200 Scoville)
Next up is Double Comfort Seeing Double, a jalapeno-based sauce that kicks things up a notch while supporting hunger relief charities. Its mix of herbs, sweetness, and a gentle spice sets the stage for the real heat to come, all while making you feel good for a worthy cause.
3. Mark’s Fermented Kimchi Hot Sauce (18,000 Scoville)
Third in line is something truly funky. Mark’s Fermented Kimchi takes the tangy, spicy, and savoury elements of traditional kimchi and bottles it up into a punchy sauce. Thai chillies bring the heat, with soy sauce helping to balance out the flavour. If you’re not a fan of kimchi yet, this might just convert you.
4. Hot Ones Los Calientes Barbacoa Hot Sauce (33,000 Scoville)
In the fourth spot, Hot Ones brings back a fan favourite with a twist—Los Calientes Barbacoa. Perfect for the grilling season, this smoky sauce uses Applewood-smoked jalapenos and a hint of habanero to create that flame-kissed, barbecue taste that pairs perfectly with wings.
The Hot Ones Midway Challenge: Time to Sweat
At the halfway mark, the sauces shift from hot to punishing. From Trinidad Scorpions to fermented chillies, things are getting serious.
5. Fat Cat Gourmet Chairman Meow’s Revenge Hot Sauce (54,000 Scoville)
Things heat up with Fat Cat Chairman Meow’s Revenge, a sauce featuring the infamous Trinidad Scorpion pepper. This one doesn’t mess around—its heat builds gradually, but it’s balanced out with garlic, cilantro, and lime. Fun fact: Scorpion peppers are so hot they’ve been used to prevent barnacle growth on boats!
6. Il Mig Onima Hot Sauce (71,000 Scoville)
For fans of fermented sauces, Il Mig Onima is a treat. Hot Ones has never had a sauce quite like this. From Spain, Onima combines aged habanero with Sherry vinegar, garlic, and paprika to create a dynamic yet simple sauce with deep, tangy flavours that bring out the funk.
7. Black-Eyed Susan Spice Co. Red Flag Hot Sauce (126,000 Scoville)
With a pirate theme in mind, Black-Eyed Susan Red Flag takes things to the next level with the deadly combination of Scorpion peppers, muscadine grape juice, and raspberries. This one leaves guests feeling battered and shipwrecked—expect sweetness to give way to scorching heat as they venture into the spicier half of the gauntlet.
The Final Bosses: Da’ Bomb & Beyond
As always, the last few sauces are not for the faint-hearted. These are the ones that separate the casual spice lovers from the true heat chasers.
8. Da’ Bomb Beyond Insanity Hot Sauce (135,600 Scoville)
Back again is the infamous Da’ Bomb Beyond Insanity, a Hot Ones staple and guest tormentor. The focus here isn’t on flavour, it’s pure, unrelenting heat. It’s often referred to as the breaking point for most guests. As Sean says, once you’ve hit Da’ Bomb, there’s no turning back.
9. High River Sauces Peppers Up! (700,000 Scoville)
Near the top of the list is High River Peppers Up!, featuring the elusive Apollo pepper. While the heat level is mind-blowing, the sauce manages to balance it with tart berries, brown sugar, and yuzu—adding a bit of pleasure to the pain.
10. Hot Ones The Last Dab Xperience Hot Sauce (2,693,000 Scoville)
Closing out the line-up is the terrifying Last Dab Xperience, made with over 91% Pepper X, the world’s hottest chilli. It’s not just heat for the sake of it—this sauce brings a smokiness and earthiness that can only be achieved with the finest chillies. Season 24’s finale sauce promises to push every guest to their limit.
