Right now, crispy chili oils are making the entire web salivate. No need to run to the Asian grocery store: your pantry probably already has what you need to make a homemade version! The secret to an impressive spicy oil is to choose a heat-resistant oil that will extract and capture the capsaicin (the spice) in the chillies.
The only catch? You'll quickly become addicted and want to put it absolutely everywhere!
