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.
Chili Crisp
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.
Chile Crunch Review
Chile Crunch Original delivers incredible crunch from just five ingredients — but the flavor stops at fried garlic and onion. Full review and tier.
Fly By Jing Mild Chili Crisp Review
Fly By Jing’s new Mild Sichuan Chili Crisp brings garlic-forward crunch with barely any heat — and the best oil-to-solids ratio in the brand’s lineup.
Lee Kum Kee Cilantro Chili Crisp Review
Lee Kum Kee’s cilantro chili crisp promises fresh cilantro flavor but delivers Sichuan peppercorn paste. Here’s what’s actually in the jar.
Don Chilio Chili Crisp Review
Don Chilio’s Spicy Jalapeño chili crisp delivers massive fried jalapeño crunch in 100% olive oil with just four ingredients. A GOOD-tier Mexican chili crisp that proves simplicity can work.
