Instructions

Add the chili flakes and your additional spices to a heat proof bowl. Mix well.
Heat the oil over medium heat in a small pot. Do not allow the oil to smoke. If it smokes, remove it from the heat to reduce the temperature. (**)
Pour the hot oil carefully over the chili flakes. It will sizzle up nicely. Mix well. Cool and strain if desired.
Transfer to a glass container. Use immediately. Lasts 3 months or longer in the refrigerator.

Notes

Heat Level. Varies, depending on the chili peppers used.
Variations. There are many ways to vary up your spices to make different types and flavors of chili oil. Possibilities include black pepper, garlic, salt or msg, cayenne, paprika, ginger, cinnamon, Chinese vinegar or black vinegar, so much more. You can also use any type of chili flakes or crushed dried chilies.
** Temperature. Heat your oil to 180 degrees F minimum, or to 350 degrees F. for a darker chili oil. Do not let your oil smoke or get any hotter, or it can burn your chili flakes and spices, resulting in a bitter flavor.
