Sean Evans, host of First We Feast’s popular YouTube web series Hot Ones.
Hot Ones is a YouTube sensation that has taken the internet by storm. It is produced by First We Feast and Complex Media and is hosted by Sean Evans.
First debuting in March 2015 the show’s format consists of host Sean Evans interviewing a celebrity guest while both eat 10 chicken wings, each served with a progressively hotter hot sauce and culminating in The Last Dab, a sauce produced by Hot Ones themselves with a Scoville rating of 2,000,000+ units. The Last Dab was developed by legendary chilehead Smokin’ Ed Currie of PuckerButt Pepper Co., the creator of the infamous Carolina Reaper, the world’s hottest pepper.
The show’s tagline, stated by Evans at the beginning of each episode, is “The show with hot questions, and even hotter wings.”
As of 21 February 2021 there have been thirteen seasons of Hot Ones produced with a total of 204 episodes. In 2018 Hot Ones won Best Non-Fiction Series at the Streamy Awards and the episodes on YouTube have been viewed almost 44 million times in total.
The Season 14 Lineup of Hot Ones hot sauces was announced by Sean Evans on 21 February 2021 with the first episode of Hot Ones Season 14 scheduled to premiere on Thursday, 28 January.
Each season the lineup of hot sauces is changed with new sauces introduced, although some sauces have appeared in multiple seasons, notably Mad Dog 357, Blair’s Mega Death Sauce, Hot Ones The Classic Hot Sauce, Hot Ones Los Calientes Hot Sauce, Da’ Bomb Beyond Insanity and, of course, the sauce in the perennial ten spot, Hot Ones The Last Dab.

In November 2019 Hot Ones: The Game Show, also hosted by Sean Evans, was announced by WarnerMedia’s TruTV with a release date scheduled for early 2020. The first episode was broadcast on 18 February 2020.
Hot Ones: The Game Show takes place in “The Pepperdome” where two-person teams of contestants go head to head, competing through three rounds of pop-culture trivia questions while also eating hot wings. The winning team then moves to the final round, “The Ring of Fire”, where they play a password game in the hope of winning the $25,000 grand prize.
Three new hot sauces were created especially for Hot Ones: The Game Show; Brain Burner, Eye of the Scorpion and The Constrictor. Heatonist enlisted tattoo artists Natalia Garcia Briceno, Matthew Henning and BJ Betts to bring to life the label art for each of the three sauces.
Heatonist have confirmed that there are no official Scoville ratings for these three new hot sauces. On a scale of 1-10, Brain Burner rates an 8, Eye of the Scorpion a 9 and The Constrictor a 10.
Below we have assembled a complete list of all the hot sauces featured on the Hot Ones YouTube series, along with their rating in Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Many of these sauces are available for purchase at Sauce Mania.
Hi Simon, unfortunately we don’t currently have any gift packs as we are finding it difficult to keep a lot of the sauces from Hot Ones in stock due to their popularity. However, there are quite a few still available to be purchased individually and we are expecting more back in stock in early July.
Hi! So I’m doing a hot ones challenge with my friends, I found the scoville units of every sauce except for the last 2; Eye of the Scorpion, and Culley’s Brutality. I was wondering which one was hotter between the two, and if either one was hotter than The Last Dab, just so I can line them up correctly for the challenge.
I spoke with Heatonist as well about the new rating system, but they weren’t very much help. Has anyone made a conversion list? I’m sure there must be some kind of ballpark figures ie: 1/10 = 2,500 and 10/10 = 2,000,000+
Hey Guys, In love with all the sauces you mentioned above, can I order them over phone. I know shipping will add a lot to the cost but I’m up for paying that. Thankyou
REALLY need this in spreadsheet format, so i can sort it by heat level, or search it and have all seasons together.
What is the best sweet/hot sauce?
Who makes your wings? And where can I get some of the hot ones hot sauce in the US?
Just had los calientes rojo and stargazer. They are both delicious. Stargazer has some heat.
Is there a gift pack of the Hot Ones sauces? Preferably season 11. Maybe small bottles?

Hot Ones introduced me to Heartbeat habenaro sauce out of Canada. It is by far my favorite hot sauce. Mild, but excellent flavor!

Hi Faiz, thanks for your message. Unfortunately we only ship products to Australian addresses. Sorry. 🙁
Do you have info on their “Brain Burner” sauce? I just got it in their monthly sauce box.
Unfortunately we don’t have any information yet Michael. As soon as we do we’ll update this post with the details.
I want to buy sauces from you over the phone. How do I do that and when’s a good time to call?
Hi Bernard, thank you for your message. Unfortunately, we only ship sauces to Australian addresses and I note that you reside in the USA.
