Bio

Huy Fong Sriracha, often simply called “rooster sauce” after the rooster on the label, was created by David Tran in 1980. The sauce is named after the coastal city of Si Racha in Thailand but is made in California. It’s known for its balance of heat, garlic, and sweetness.

Bottle Inspection

The iconic clear plastic bottle with a green twist-off cap and rooster logo is instantly recognizable. The bottle is squeezable, making it easy to control the amount of sauce dispensed.

Pourability

Thanks to the squeeze bottle, the sauce is easy to pour and control. The consistency is moderately thick, allowing for a steady, manageable flow without splattering.

Smell & Taste

The aroma is a balanced blend of garlic and ripe red peppers with a hint of sweetness. The taste starts with a rich, garlicky flavor, followed by the robust heat of red jalapeños and a slight tanginess from the vinegar.

Final Thoughts

Huy Fong Sriracha is a versatile hot sauce that complements a wide variety of dishes. Its well-rounded flavor and moderate heat make it a staple in kitchens around the world.
