The dried red ones on strings? They're called ristras. You dangles 'em in front of your door to be picturesque - if yer like most folk. If you want to use them like in olden days, first make sure they are not treated with preservatives (many of the ristras are,) rehydrate them with a soak in boiling water, scrape the meat off the skins and make enchilada sauce with it.
They are essentially the same as what you buy in powdered form as "New Mexico red chile powder." Me, I'm a lazy guy, I cook with the red chile powder.
