The Hot Sauce Experiment: Infusing Flavor into Different Meats

TLDRIn this video, we conduct an experiment with various meats and hot sauce to infuse flavor. We soak chicken, salmon, lamb, and steak in hot sauce and cook them. The salmon turns out juicy and flavorful, the chicken is tender with a hint of hot sauce, the lamb is incredibly tender and moist, but the steak is a disappointment with a strange texture and overpowering hot sauce flavor. Overall, the experiment shows that hot sauce can enhance the flavor of meats but may not work well with all types.
