Franks RedHot Sauce

rh555 · 15-08-2009 1:01am

Maybe we should make a list of places that offer Franks by County. From reading all the posts so far it seems that if you live close to Dublin you have no problems finding Franks because there seem to be plenty of places.

However I think its a little more difficult to find it on the west coast. I believe there is no store offering it in Sligo county but I know of 2 places that sell it in Leitrim.

I can post the 2 places in Leitrim if anyone is interested.

I'd take a couple of them but don't you need a Musgrave's card to shop there?

3 Litre is a big bottle - a lot of sauce!

10 pages about a sauce? lol is it really that good? What does it taste like? I'm interested.

On a side note, I add garlic granuals to anything hot that I eat, loverly!

Hmm i think there are only 7 pages, and yes it really is that good...

I used up the last jar of Franks yesterday, Fresh on the Malahide road are now out of stock too. Anybody know any place on the northside of Dublin that still has some in stock?

A Disgrace · 16-08-2009 3:37pm

No more in Fresh on Camden St, but plenty in my press... Added it to a Chilli Con Carne I made the other day, I could see through walls after it..

If anyone is up North, Sainsburys are selling 5 fl oz bottles for £1.49 - picked up one to see what it's all about.

Can you just walk into Musgraves in Ballymun, or do you need a card?

Hi Cocoon,
You do need a card for Musgraves, sorry.

I'm going to check Newry at the weekend...

I'd never heard of Franks before I read this thread, and now I'm so excited

Franks hot sauce is the secret ingredient in the original anchor bar buffalo wings that have been on the menu since 1964. the original and still the best.

often used in places like the elephant and castle and the schoolhouse that are famous for 'their' wings and plenty of other bars and restaurants around Ireland and the rest of the world.

and YES, they're that good!

bobbyg · 19-08-2009 1:03pm

Anyone know if you can get this sauce in Tallaght anywhere?

A Disgrace · 20-08-2009 7:24pm

Fresh Camden Street have re-stocked, plenty there earlier folks..

Cocoon · 23-08-2009 6:14pm

Loads of Franks back on the shelf in Fresh on the Malahide road too. Both original and Buffalo wings sauce. Got a half dozen bottles but there's plenty left.

Bill-e · 24-08-2009 10:09am

Jeasus you guys seem to be well into this sauce!
I'm going to have to check it out!

dmaxontour · 24-08-2009 12:11pm

I picked some up in Newry for the first time at the weekend, after reading this thread. As I was standing there I overheard 3 American woman behind me talking, saying they needed to get a good hot wing sauce. I turned round and said "Franks", holding up a couple of bottles, to which she replied "FRANKS!!!" like she was reunited with a beloved friend.
It was then that I knew the hype was going to be worth it :-)

kendragon · 24-08-2009 12:26pm

Right... you've got me interested. I'm now mad to try this sauce for myself. Tried Dunnes on the childers road but no dice. Anyone know where to get this sauce in Limerick?

rh555 · 29-08-2009 5:12pm

Hi,

Anyone having any suggestions what to replace Blue cheese dip with for the Wings. Was running out of my last bottle from Tesco but now they dont have it anymore unfortunately. Looked other places too but it seems to be very hard to find.

Any suggestions? Thanks

BaconZombie · 29-08-2009 5:40pm

From reading this I bought two bottles in Fresh in GCD. But whats the best way of cooking the wings.,¿
What I've read here is mix half butter & Franks but what then.

were you using Brianna's blue cheese dressing/dip from tesco's? used to get that and loved it, but not everyone here liked it.

we've actually started randomly making our own, there's a heap of recipes online, just do some googling and experiment. we didn';t find a perfect recipe yet, but we're geting there. gorgonzola seems to be the right blue cheese for the dip, we're just having trouble getting it runny enough for it to work properly without ruining the flavour too much.

personally, i separate the wings at each joint and throw out the tips, coat the wings in cornflour (makes them extra crispy) and deep fry them until they're cooked through and crispy on the outside. find a fat one and cut into it down to the bone if you're not sure and make sure there's nothing pink or red inside and they're done. i always tend to slightly overdo them so they're not too moist, sometimes it can be a little off putting if they're too juicy (yes, i know it sounds weird).

then i heat up some butter in a wok or frying pan (a wok makes it easier to toss the wings in) with some franks and let it cook through to burn off some of the excess vinegar in the franks sauce and then toss in the wings until they are well coated all over and serve.

bon apetit!

I went in to tesco in the square at lunch and they have the nandos sauce there so picked up a bottle of HOT. has anyone tried it? whats it like?

I've never tried Franks but I do like Nando's extra hot Peri Peri I got in Tesco's. I must try Franks soon

Prefect_1998 · 30-08-2009 11:03pm

loads of bottles of this in dunnes stores , charlestown, 2.99

Little A · 31-08-2009 12:55am

This thread amazed me, 8 pages on a bottle of chilli sauce!!

So I decided to try one of the recipes using butter & Frank on the wings from a chicken I was cooking today & gotta admit, it was good. Looking forward to having some friends over and making up some blue cheese dip to go with it!!

if you find franks somewhere, prepare to throw your nando's in the bin. you won't look back.

and if you don't prefer it, I'll give you a much better recipe for proper portuguese piri piri chicken (when i can find out where i put it) that blows everything away.

Dunnes in Rathmines has Franks Buffulo and normal.
