Fly By Jing just dropped a limited-edition ketchup inspired by its editor-loved Chili Crisp
What if hot sauce and ketchup had a baby? That's exactly what Fly By Jing's latest creation is bringing to life. Say hello to the brand's Chili Crisp Ketchup, which just dropped today and is bringing the heat and complexity of the editor-loved Sichuan Chili Crisp to the classic condiment. Developed alongside Frankie Gaw, a James Beard Award-winning content creator behind Little Fat Boy, this one-of-a-kind spicy ketchup is the perfect way to level up your daily omelet, french fries or BBQ staples like hot dogs and hamburgers. I had a chance to test it before launch and can confirm I'm going to need surplus stock in my pantry so I never run out. Fly By Jing Chili Crisp Ketchup Whether you're a ketchup lover or not, I recommend checking out this limited-edition Sichuan-inspired ketchup by Fly By Jing. Unlike regular ketchup, this one offers the perfect dose of heat, savoriness and sweetness. It isn't so spicy that I needed to chug a glass of milk. Fly By Jing is a go-to brand in multiple CNN Underscored editors' pantries, including mine, and for good reason. I've been drizzling the AAPI-owned brand's various sauces on top of my eggs, noodles and more for years now, and I'm still just as hooked as the first time I tried it. Just like its iconic Sichuan Chili Crisp, which has now made chili crisp a household staple, this launch will make your taste buds dance. Even if you're not a ketchup lover, I think you should give this spicier version a try. Unlike typical ketchup that's sweet, this one offers more complex flavors and a bit of a kick versus a blast of sweetness on your tongue. I drizzled this tangy ketchup on everything from eggs and hamburgers to chicken sausage and sweet potato fries. It added the perfect dose of flavor without overpowering my food. Unlike the OG Chili Crisp, I thought this ketchup was significantly milder and more tolerable for people like me whose palates are more sensitive to heat. If you're a Fly By Jing fan, you'll want to add this new drop to your cart ASAP, as it's limited edition and once it's gone it'll be gone forever! Senior lifestyle editor Tamara Kraus has been in the editorial and commerce space for nearly a decade, testing and reviewing products in categories from home and kitchen to fashion and beauty. She's been using Fly By Jing for years, and it's become a go-to in her own kitchen.

Miss Manners: What do I do with leftover sauce packets?
Dear Miss Manners: I often have lunch at fast-food restaurants. I will get five or six packets of hot sauce from the self-serve area, and when I'm finished with lunch, I just return the unopened packets to where I got them. Sometimes I get bad looks from people for doing this.

Brooklyn Beckham makes pasta using water from the sea
Brooklyn Beckham caused controversy by using seawater to boil pasta for a cooking video filmed on a luxury yacht. Fans reacted with disgust and concern, highlighting the potential health risks associated with cooking with unpurified seawater due to bacteria. Scientific research supports these concerns, indicating that seawater contains millions of bacteria, some of which are linked to serious illnesses. Beckham, who was promoting his hot sauce brand, has a history of receiving criticism for his culinary skills but maintains he is unfazed by negative comments. The incident comes amid ongoing speculation about discord within the Beckham family, following Brooklyn and his wife's absence from recent family events.

Brooklyn Beckham is now slashing the price of his hot sauce for Prime Day
Brooklyn Beckham, the son of stars Victoria Beckham and David Beckham, has slashed the price of his Cloud23 hot sauce for Amazon Prime Day - and it's a deal you won't want to miss. In honor of Prime Day, which ends on Friday, July 11, Beckham, who has an estimated $10 million net worth, is selling his two-pack hot sauce variety set for $24.49, a hefty 30 per cent discount from its usual $34.99. The variety pack comes with two different flavors, hot habanero and sweet jalapeno. You can also get a discount on two-packs of each flavor, which have also been marked down from $34.99 to $24.49.

The 11 best hot sauces of 2025, according to chefs
A good hot sauce adds kick. But the best hot sauces? They're soul-awakening, sense-tantalizing concoctions that can enhance the flavor profile of a dish. "For me, the best hot sauces deliver chile-forward flavor with depth," says chef Rick Martínez, the award-winning cookbook author of Salsa Daddy. "I want to taste the chile, not just feel the burn or pucker from acidity. The heat should be present but balanced, with vinegar as a supporting act, not the main event."We asked Martínez and 14 other chefs — including restaurant owners, cookbook authors, taqueros and pitmasters — for the hot sauces they reach for when they want to amplify tacos, scrambled eggs, wings, mac and cheese or, as many will tell you, pretty much anything! Whether you're looking to spice things up or just switch things up, these 11 pro-approved hot sauces bring the zing. (Plus, we included some zesty accessories for hot sauce lovers.) Best hot sauces of 2025 What chefs look for in a hot sauce How we chose these hot sauces Hot sauce FAQs Fun finds for hot sauce lovers Meet the experts (back to top) Ingredients: Less is more, say most of our experts. 'Simpler hot sauces tend to convey the flavor of the chili, as well as acidity, which heightens the seasoning of food. There are a few hot sauces, such as zhoug, that have beautiful complexity, with the layered edition of fragrance spices like cardamom. But these are the outliers," says Mace. Texture: Thin hot sauces, which are often vinegar based, are ideal for drizzling. But if you're looking for a hot sauce that will coat food, you may want something thicker, says Martínez. "I prefer a thicker, pulpier sauce like Valentina that clings to food and stays put, especially on things like fried eggs," he says. Heat level: Spiciness is arguably the most subjective thing about hot sauce, say chefs. "Southern-style hot sauces aren't really meant to make the food too spicy; they're more like pepper vinegar to season things that have been slow-cooked and need invigorating, for example," explains Mace. "Other cuisines take the opposite approach with copious amounts of searing hot chilies added for emphasis on heat." While different hot sauces have different intensities, Mace says applying more or less is the best way to adjust a dish's spice level — "not using a mild hot sauce where a hot one would work better." Flavor mix: Consider how a given hot sauce will meld with the rest of the ingredients in your dish. "I like to consider the dish I'm seasoning with hot sauce and choose things that go together like Tabasco on red beans and rice," shares Mace. "If I'm using a hot sauce with Scotch bonnets, then I'm in a tropical flavor palette; Hatch chile and jalapeño for Tex-Mex and so on." (back to top) We spoke to 15 chefs, including restaurant owners, cookbook authors, pitmasters and taqueros about their favorite hot sauces, aiming for a variety of textures, heat levels, flavors and origins. Every hot sauce on this list comes not only expert recommended but top rated, many with hundreds of glowing reviews from real-life shoppers. (back to top) Traditionally, chilies are fermented, then blended with salt and vinegar, explains Mace. Brands will then dial up the spice or add spices and other ingredients to achieve different flavors, textures and intensities. Look at a sauce's Scoville heat units (SHU) to get a sense for how spicy it is; the higher the number, the more intense the heat level. If you can't find the SHU, look at the ingredients and keep these guidelines from Martínez in mind: Red chilies (like cayenne, puya and chile de árbol) are usually sharper, hotter and more direct. "They're great on fried foods (think wings, fries and fried chicken sandwiches) because the vinegar and heat cut through the fat," he says. Green chilies (like jalapeño, Serrano and green habanero) have fresher, grassier notes and milder acidity. "I like these with tacos, grilled vegetables or egg dishes — anything where you want a sauce that stays bright and fresh." As far as Martinez is concerned, sauces made with habaneros — which he describes as "fruity, floral, often ferociously hot" — are in a category of their own. "When balanced, they're incredible with seafood, especially ceviche, pork or tropical fruit. Try them on cochinita pibil [a Yucatec Mayan pork dish] or even with pineapple and mango or in daiquiris or tropical cocktails." Chipotle-based hot sauces bring smoky sweetness — "best for barbecue, beans, roasted meats and stews." Scotch bonnet and Caribbean-style sauces are hot but often sweet, tangy and complex — "amazing on grilled chicken, jerk pork or fried plantains."
