Hot Boi Chili Oil makes small-batch garlic chili crunch, made by hand by co-founders Alex Nguyen and Tram, with their shiba inu Nau as the brand mascot. The recipe started during the pandemic, when a dream about golden, crispy fried garlic turned into the chili crunch the brand still makes today.

Heat levels
- Mild: all the garlic crunch with softer heat, for the spice curious.
- Original: the classic, around a 6 to 7 out of 10 on heat.
- Fire: around a 9 to 10 out of 10, made with Carolina Reaper flakes.
