The BEST Homemade Chili Oil You Will EVER TRY!

Homemade Chili Oil is the BEST gift you can give to your friends and family this holiday season. I drizzle my Homemade Chili Oil on EVERYTHING because I promise it is the best chili oil you will ever try! It is super easy to make, and unlike other recipes, there will be no waste with this recipe. We will be blending up all the garlic, spices, and herbs to take this chili oil to a whole other level. You need to make this jar of flavor heaven this weekend because this recipe will BLOW YOUR MIND.  

I have been making my own Homemade Chili Oil for years now because I was never able to find a store-bought one that was spicy, numb, garlic, or flavourful enough! It contains no MSG but has more flavor than another store-bought chili oil. I restock my chili oil every 2-3 months and I always have jars in my fridge ready to go. It lasts in the fridge up to 3 MONTHS and I use it on everything, noodles, wontons, dumplings, eggs, radish cakes, homemade buns, literally EVERYTHING. 

Homemade Chili Oil is the BEST gift you can give to your friends and family this year! They will be so impressed you might even start your own chili oil business. I love to gift this with a side of homemade wontons or potstickers, a great idea for virtual dinner dates this holiday season.
