Putting hot sauce in his mouth is a form of abuse. You're trying to get him to stop saying a bad word and to stop being violent, yet you are using violent means to get through to him.
The point is, he is a 3 year old, and you are a grown adult. You need to be firm and discpline him until he understands that this, all of this behaviour is NOT acceptable. Spanking/hitting him to prove a point will not work either, especially if you are trying to prevent him from punching someone else. Talk to a professional.
