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!
