McCormick For Chefs has launched two new products under Frank’s RedHot for foodservice operators, Nashville Hot Seasoning and Mild Wings Sauce. As the number one hot sauce in the world1 and the inventor of the Buffalo wing flavor in 1964, Frank’s RedHot is the expert in heat. Over 50 percent of global consumers choose spicy options when dining out and 60 percent of consumers reported they are eating spicier foods today compared to a year ago.2 These new solutions are geared to help chefs excite the growing population of patrons with preferences on opposite sides of the heat-level spectrum.
Frank’s RedHot Mild Wings Sauce
This sauce offers a mild heat with all the flavor and spices of the original wings sauce. This versatile sauce works on menu items from breakfast and appetizers to salads and main dishes. Available in a one-gallon jug, it’s ready to use right out of the bottle—no need to dilute a spicier sauce to deliver a milder taste.
Backed by a brand guests trust, this sauce also scored high with consumers in a blind taste test. Frank’s Mild Wings Sauce was reported to exceed consumer expectations and is preferred compared to existing mild offerings in the back of house.3
Frank’s RedHot Nashville Hot Seasoning
The Nashville Hot Chicken trend is here to stay—the flavor has seen a 309 percent growth in four years on US menus.4 Tap into the craze with this seasoning—it delivers a HOT kick and a bit of sweetness with an expert blend of high-quality, potent ingredients including cayenne peppers, brown sugar and garlic. It’s a versatile, dry seasoning that doesn’t affect crisp or crunch—perfect for dishes that don’t like getting saucy. Chefs who make their own blends can also save on time and labor with this consistent mix.
