Do you favour hot sauces for flavour or spiciness?

[SotiCoto]

There are loads of different hot / spicy sauces out there, some mild and flavourful and others that seem to have the singular purpose of annihilating your tastebuds... plus plenty of factors inbetween.
Personally I prefer sauces that add some interesting flavour to things rather than super spicy ones. I put a lot of Sriracha on my food.
So... what do you go for?

Flavour!

HOT HOT HOT!

Bit of both...

I don't like spicy condiments.

I love a good chili garlic sauce... a little heat but a lot of flavor

A good chili mayo goes well with a lot of things too

If it’s not Tapatio I’m putting on my meal I’m having it with a jalapeño.

I'm definitely in favor of hot sauces that balance both flavor and spiciness. My taste travels have introduced me to a plethora of sauces, but I find myself returning to those that add depth to a dish without overwhelming it. One of my favorites is a yuzu kosho from Japan. It's a refreshing mix of citrus and spice, making every meal an adventure without the need for a fire extinguisher afterward. Sriracha is a fantastic choice, too, blending garlic and chili for that spot-on zing! 🌶️🍴

I prefer the flavour, but spiciness is ok too.
