Hot Boi Chili Oil OG Review
Hot Boi’s OG Garlic Crunch packs about 80% solids and a spiced oil you can smell from the jar, with a burn that builds and lingers. A GOOD jar that gives up some flavor to its heat.

Hot Boi Chili Oil Mild Review
Hot Boi’s Mild Garlic Crunch is a solids-heavy garlic jar built on gochugaru and shiitake, with more heat than its one-chili label suggests. The most flavorful jar in the Hot Boi lineup and a GREAT tier pick.
Hot Boi Chili Oil Fire Review
Hot Boi’s Fire adds Carolina Reaper to a garlic-and-gochugaru base and settles about 90% solids. It’s definitely hot, but the flavor lands before the burn. A GREAT tier 5/5 jar that beat the OG.
Hot Boi Chili Oil Review: All 3 Compared
Hot Boi’s three Garlic Crunch jars share one spiced oil and nearly one ingredient list. Here’s how the Mild, OG, and Fire compare — and why the ranking doesn’t follow the heat.
ZINDREW Chili Oil Review: OG Batch
ZINDREW’s OG Batch packs 80% solids, deep umami from MSG and flavor boosters, and more heat than its mild label suggests. GREAT tier.
Sauce Up NYC Garlic Chip Comparison
Sauce Up NYC’s two Garlic Chip varieties look identical but deliver different flavor directions. The Original stays neutral, the Chipotle commits to cumin and smoke. Both GOOD.
Momofuku Chili Crunch Batch Comparison
Same ingredient list, same order, different batch. The newer Momofuku Chili Crunch (yellow lid) tastes less sweet and more balanced. Phil opens both jars side by side.
Mama Teavs Mild Chili Crisp Review
Mama Teav’s Mild chili crisp dials back the heat and lets the garlic lead. Seven ingredients, cold-pressed grapeseed oil, real crunch. The better jar in the lineup.
Sauce Up NYC Garlic Chip Chili Sauce Review
Sauce Up NYC’s Garlic Chip Original is garlic granola in a jar — huge fried chips, wildflower honey, almost no heat. Fun, crunchy, and surprisingly versatile.
Momofuku Chili Crunch New Batch
Momofuku shipped a new batch with a yellow lid. The honey butter is still there, but the sweetness stepped back — and the whole jar is better for it. Tier: GOOD.
