When you see “Sriracha” written or hear it spoken, what do you normally think of? For many Americans, the bottle with the Rooster and the signature green top immediately comes to mind.

And it’s definitely no surprise! The Huy Fong brand of Sriracha, also known as “Rooster Sauce,” is the most well known brand of American Sriracha sauces, and is known world over. By the way, the rooster is on the bottle because it is the Chinese Zodiac symbol of Huy Fong owner, David Tran. 🙂
