FLYBYJING XL Original Sichuan Chili Crisp: Premium Chili Oil w/Crunchy Garlic and Shallots - Spicy, Savory, Vegan, Sugar Free Hot Sauce - Good on Noodles, Proteins, Veggies & Everything, 16oz Jar

I've worked my way through a lot of chili crisps at this point. Some are fine. Some are genuinely good. FLY BY JING's Xtra Spicy version is in a different category entirely — it's the one I reach for when I want heat that actually means something, layered on top of a flavor profile complex enough to justify the price tag. What makes Sichuan chili crisp special — and what FLY BY JING nails better than most — is the interplay between heat and that distinctive mouth-numbing tingle from Sichuan peppercorns. It's not just spicy. It's aromatic, savory, deeply fragrant, and a little electric on the tongue. The Xtra Spicy version amps up the chili heat noticeably without sacrificing any of that complexity. Spice lovers, this is your jar. The texture is excellent too — packed with crispy bits of chili, garlic, and aromatics that add crunch to whatever you put it on. I've spooned it over fried eggs, stirred it into noodles, drizzled it on dumplings, mixed it into salad dressings, and used it as a finishing oil on roasted vegetables. It elevates every single one of those applications without overpowering them. That versatility is what keeps me coming back. The ingredients are noticeably cleaner and more premium than mass-market alternatives — you can taste the quality. No artificial anything, real Sichuan peppercorns, and an oil that doesn't taste cheap or greasy. This is a chef-grade product packaged accessibly. Pricier than grocery store options, but worth every cent. I keep two jars in rotation now — one in the fridge, one in the pantry as backup — because running out is simply not an option.

Love it specially the extras spicy to me its not very spicy but it is good. Wish they had a set of 2 extra spicy

As the title states, Fly By Jing is nothing short of amazing. This is the only chili crisp I have ever tried and I honestly cannot recommend it enough! The container does sometimes not come fully sealed. SOMTIMES. But other than the occasional leaking, which is typically a very small amount. Still recommend the product highly. The smell is amazing, I think if I were to have it anywhere near me I’d be able to point it out instantly. Texture is great as well, you can either get a scoop of just the oil, or both the oil and crisps. The crisps have a not so crispy texture but rather an almost al dente type of bite that hides perfectly in any dish. It’s not that hot at all, if you’ve tried Samyung/fire noodles you’ll definitely live through this. This post was primarily to get the attention of the seller, after working a long night I get home, eager to find a package waiting. I didn’t notice due to it being night, but whoever delivered it ever so kindly did nothing to repair the damages caused to the outer box during shipping. Without noticing and just feeling the box it was shipped in was flimsy, I walk through my door just for it to smash on the ground. I tried looking through the options for inquiring about replacing and Amazon sends you through an amazing loop to keep you preoccupied without progress. Please if you can reach out I would love to reconcile the situation. Again I cannot recommend Fly By Jing enough, it is so insanely versatile it can go on about anything. (PB, blue berry bagel & the oil) - it’s like a Thai inspired bagel lol

First things first, let's be clear that I'm comparing this to the more ordinary "Lao Gan Ma" (at least I'm trusting that that's the correct name) chili crisp I can get at the store, and understand that to me, that's a perfectly fine chili crisp. There's a little texture, a little crunch, some nice warm heat - I like it. I'm a fan. This is an entirely different experience. "Better" is up to you, but for me, yeah. First of all, it's less a chili *crisp* than it is a chili *chew* if we're gonna name it after texture. There's less of a crunch than there is the feel of the preserved beans giving you a little resistance when you hit one. That's not a complaint, but it was a bit of a surprise. I definitely wasn't expecting that. Not unpleasant, though, as the texture's been welcome in anything I've used it in. It's also demonstrably hotter, and a greater percentage of oil. The brand I'm used to, there's a jar full of crisp with a fraction of an inch of oil on top, so you can get a mix in every serving, the jar I got here was almost half oil. It was a little disappointing, but not a huge complaint as the oil itself is spicy and flavorful, carrying a good bit of the umami from those beans, too. And it's definitely spicier than my usual. Not comically so, but enough that it required a little adjustment regarding what I thought I'd be tasting when I first tried it. The main difference, though, is the flavor. Normal chili crisp - for me - is just about adding a little crunch and a little heat. This avoids the crunch almost entirely, packs a little extra heat, and a ton of rich flavor. I still won't be putting it on ice cream in the near future, but I've found that for me it's at its best on tacos. Something I previously wouldn't have bothered putting my old chili crisp on since it'd be redundant, but with this, it really works. Putting it over melted cheese, crostinis that I'm having with soup, adding to salad, tacos - as mentioned, even putting a big blob over a fried egg on some ramen - NOTHING I've tried it with has been anything less than spectacular. Will purchase again without a moment's hesitation.

This is so good, a kick with out the hurt, spicy but not horrible spicy very delicious you can put it on everything. Love it
