Does this need to be refrigerated after opening?

No. The oil-based formula is shelf-stable before and after opening. Storing it in a cool spot after you break the seal can help preserve the intensity of the flavors, but refrigeration is not required.

What is the difference between the Original and Xtra Crunchy versions?

Both deliver heat and umami, but the Xtra Crunchy version has a higher ratio of crispy bits to oil, giving you more textural contrast when you spoon it over food.

Is the Mild version completely without heat?

Yes. The Mild version focuses on crispy garlic and savory depth without capsaicin heat, so you can add crunch and flavor to dishes without raising the spice level.

Can I cook with this or is it only a finishing condiment?

You can do both. Stir it into marinades, toss it with noodles while they are still hot, or spoon it over finished dishes. The oil and crispy bits hold up to heat.

How much hotter is the Xtra Spicy version compared to the Original?

The Xtra Spicy version has three times the heat of the Original, so it delivers a much more intense burn and a longer-lasting tingle on the palate.

Chili Crisp Duo

Most chili oils are one-note—either oily with a slick of chili flakes or thick with garlic but no real heat architecture. Sichuan chili crisp balances three things at once: the oil carries flavor, the crispy bits add texture, and the heat comes with a numbing tingle that resets your palate instead of just burning it. This set lets you match two profiles to your cooking, whether that means pairing a hot version with a mild backup for guests or stacking different textures on the same dish. It's built for people who actually use condiments, not just collect them.

Good gift when

People who cook with chili oil more than once a week
Anyone building a pantry of versatile condiments
Fans of Sichuan cuisine or numbing heat
Those who want to try multiple heat levels in one purchase

Skip it if If you rarely use condiments beyond ketchup and mustard, two jars of chili crisp will sit unopened. The flavor profile is bold, layered, and unapologetically spicy even in the Mild version—this is not a gentle introduction to heat.

The maker

Fly By Jing builds condiments around the cooking traditions of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province. The region's chili crisp is known for its layered heat—capsaicin burn from chilies combined with the numbing tingle of Sichuan peppercorns—and for the crispy, fried aromatics that add texture to the oil. The brand's founder grew up eating these flavors and wanted to make them accessible outside of Sichuan without softening the profile or turning it into a novelty.

Each jar in this duo follows the same method: whole spices toasted, chilies fried in oil, and aromatics crisped to the point where they hold their crunch even after sitting in liquid. The result is a condiment that works as both a flavor carrier and a textural element, whether spooned over rice, stirred into stir-fries, or used as a dipping sauce for dumplings.

The details

This is a two-pack of Sichuan chili condiments, each jar built around the layered heat and numbing tingle that defines the cuisine of Chengdu. You choose the flavor combination that suits your tolerance and table: the Original paired with Mild, Xtra Crunchy, Sweet + Spicy, or Xtra Spicy.

The Original delivers heat, crunch, and a savory depth that works on dumplings, noodles, eggs, and roasted vegetables. The Mild version drops the capsaicin but keeps the crispy garlic texture, so you can layer flavor without fire. Xtra Crunchy amps up the textural element while holding the same umami backbone. Sweet + Spicy introduces tang and a glaze-like consistency inspired by Zhong Dumplings, a Chengdu street snack. Xtra Spicy triples the heat of the Original for those who want the tingle to linger.

Each jar functions as both a finishing condiment and a cooking ingredient. Spoon it over rice bowls, stir it into marinades, or use it as a dipping sauce. The oil carries flavor, and the crispy bits add a crackling contrast that holds up after spooning.

The set arrives in a presentation box. Both jars are full-size, shelf-stable, and ready to open. No refrigeration required before or after opening, though flavor intensity holds longer if stored in a cool spot after the seal breaks.
