The inspiration for my Franks Hot Sauce Chicken Burrito Bowl was created using both Frank’s RedHot Sauce and Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce. That’s right, I used both sauces. If you think Frank’s RedHot Sauce is only about hot, you got another thing coming. Frank’s RedHot is the perfect combination of flavor & heat. Frank’s RedHot Original is the most versatile sauce that can be used for a wide variety of dish types. I added to the sauces versatility by layering two sauces in one dish. Frank’s RedHot Buffalo is perfect for Summer. If you want to find more recipes with Frank” RedHot Sauce than my creation, check out their Buffalo Chicken Sandwich recipe for inspiration.
After you try my recipe, you will be thinking – “I Put That $#!+ On Everything!” OK, that may not be how you say it but I think you get the idea. The learning for me in this creation is that a spicy condiment, like Frank’s RedHot, can enhance your recipe, not overpower it. I marinated the chicken with Frank’s RedHot Sauce and the chicken got a great spice but not too much. I made this recipe for my son and I. We each like spice but not at the expense of flavor. My son’s response after he had a few bites – “this is awesome”. You get the idea?!
My recipe for Franks Hot Sauce Chicken Burrito Bowl has so much flavor and so much texture. The chicken protein was complimented with two different chicken sausages – andouille and smoked. The texture of the dish came from the fresh red cabbage, the pickled red onions and the grilled corn. Creaminess and coolness was added from the avocados. Additional flavor and freshness came from cilantro. Frank’s RedHot Sauce add flavor and maybe a little bit of heat.

Follow the instructions for cooking the polenta. Once complete, add the cheese and melt in.
Marinate the chicken in Frank's RedHot Sauce overnight. In the morning, cube the chicken and add back in the marinate until ready to cook. Add the chicken and marinate to a cast iron skillet on medium high heat. Cook for 6 - 8 minutes. Drain off the sauce and brown the chicken in the skillet for another 3 minutes until a good char has formed. Next, cook all the sausage until browned.
Assemble the dish by putting a good amount of the polenta on the bottom of the bowl. Add each of the ingredients around the bowl including the Frank's marinated chicken, both sausages, red cabbage, pickled onions, corn and top with the aioli.
Serve and enjoy!

I love a good burrito bowl and it’s such a good idea to add cabbage and corn! I’m sure they add a delightful crunch to the whole meal!

You are exactly right Casey.

Lucy @ Supergoldenbakes
I’m imagining the wonderful taste, texture and colour those pickled red onions must add to the dish. And the combination of Franks Hot Sauces with the other ingredients sounds great.
Peter Block
I hope your imagination has “taste-vision”.
