Hot Ones Season 25 Hot Sauce Lineup Revealed

September is here at last, and it’s time for the final Hot Ones season of 2024. It’s been a great year, and I’m sure that Season 25 will see out 2024 in spectacular fashion. All the ingredients are there for some great celebrity interviews and the sauces below look set to stir things up in a BIG way.

Here’s what Sean had to say about the Season 25 Hot Ones lineup:

Hot Ones The Classic Hot Sauce

“Now last season we probably had our most A-list guest list – maybe ever – but anyone who watches the show knows the real stars of the show are the sauces, so without further ado let me introduce you to the Season 25 Hot Ones hot sauce lineup and we’ll kick things off with the return of the most classic version of, The Classic. The Classic invites everyone to the table with its balance of Tangy apple cider vinegar and Chile Arbol peppers grown by Smokin’ Ed Currie. It’s a perfect hot sauce for the season of football, the season of Thanksgiving, and it’s our ode to the classic American hot sauce.”

Little Dick’s Ghost Pepper Pear Hot Sauce

“Alright moving on in the lineup, what kind of jokes you got for little dicks over here? But I’ll tell you one thing guests likely won’t be laughing at seeing ghost pepper show up as early as the number two spot and that’s what you get with Little Dick’s Ghost Pepper Pear. But the slow creeping heat of this sauce is kept in check by a combination of mustard and crisp pear. Number two I think is often the best hot sauce in the gauntlet, this season… no different.”

Neil’s Real Deal Smoked Onion Hot Sauce

“Alright moving on, if you like to order your burger with caramelized onions Neal’s Real Deal well they”e made the perfect sauce for you. Smoked onions are the hero of this sweet and savoury sauce that’s layered with tomato, molasses, tamarand, and a bright spice of habanero pepper it’s a cravable sauce that’s not too hot, not too mild; that’s kind of the sweet spot for number three. Neil’s Real Deal, welcome to the table.”

Hot Ones Los Calientes Verde Hot Sauce

“Alright moving on, bringing back another classic form Los Calientes Verde… back in the number four spot. You already know the drill, tart tomatillos, smoked serranos, sweet fruit and earthy cumin. The people have spoken, Los Calientes Verde one of the crown jewels in our collection, back in the table.”

Dawson’s Apple Caraway Hot Sauce

“Alright, moving on to the halfway point, Dawson’s is back and they’re sticking with their fruit theme. This time up, Apple. Dawson’s Apple Caraway highlights the fruity flavour of habanero with a dash of bittersweet caraway for a little bit of an old world vibe. Cinnamon apple donuts pair so well with this time of year, apple picking a great elite fall activity, hot apple cider… I can’t get enough, and now it’s time that we put apples in the hot sauce and that’s what you get with Dawson’s in the five spot.”

Pepper North Jerk & Scotch Bonnet Hot Sauce

“Alright, moving on to number six we have a little Caribbean flavour, by way of Canada, kicking off things in the back half. Pepper North Scotch Bonnet and Jerk. The Jamaican and inspired spice blend of ginger, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, thyme and cloves… it brings all the signature jerk flavours cranked up so it’s a fitting sauce to put at number six… and then of course that citrusy heat of Scotch Bonnet peppers… needless to say, it all goes well on chicken.”

The Pepper Ninja Ninja Napalm Hot Sauce

“And at number seven – (Sean imitates the moves of a ninja) haa, hoo, hoe, hey, haaa – say hello to The Ninja. Pepper Ninja Ninja Napalm a pretty straightforward kick in the face led by a full force of Trinidad Scorpion peppers, some of the hottest in the world… aromatics, lime juice, curry powdere they all round out this sauce for those who still have a pallete at the number seven spot. But this right here, it’s what the doctor ordered and by doctor I mean Dr. Arroyo; not the best doctor but very affordable. Ninjas, they’re stealthy… napalm is not, and neither is Ninja Napalm in the seven spot.”

Da’ Bomb Beyond Insanity Hot Sauce

“Alright moving on, do we even need to uh talk about Da’ Bomb Beyond Insanity’s back. Ariana Grande she expressed empathy for the sauce. I, of course, it’s just a cross that I bear at this point, Honour the legacy. Here it is, again, in Season 25.”

Fresno Sauce Arbol Scorpion Hot Sauce

“Alright, moving on to the number nine spot and another maker making its return to the hot sauce gauntlet. Fresno Sauce out of California, from the three spot in Season 12 to the nine spot this season, it’s a big jump and that jump is fueled by the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper, which can reach up to to a million Scoville units. It’s tempered only slightly by earthy, milder Chile Arbol peppers. At number nine, we’ll see how it fares following Da’ Bomb.”

Hot Ones The Last Dab Xperience Hot Sauce

“And then closing things out, check your oxygen tanks, we’re approaching the peak of Mount Scoville over here. The Last Dab Xperience continues its reign of supremacy and last I checked, Pepper X continues its reign as the official Guinness World Record holder for hottest pepper in the world. Salute to Smokin’ Ed Currie and salute to you the fans who’ve allowed us to do this show, not one season, not two seasons, not three seasons… I won’t count it out, 24 seasons onto number 25 and this right here is your Hot Ones Hot Sauce Season 25 Gauntlet.”

Season’s 24’s star studded lineup of celebrities is going to be hard to beat, but it’s just the kind of challenge that the Hot Ones team is up for. So do yourself a favour and check Season 25 out. The celebrities may change, but the show’s great interviews never do. Hot Ones is always worth watching.

See you there.
