So let’s make some Spicy Hot Chili Powder! Which, of course, begs the question… Most store bought chili powder blends will contain ground chili peppers (such as cayenne, paprika, or both) along with a mixture of powdered garlic, cumin, and oregano. An example is this recipe: Homemade Chili Powder. You’ll find other ingredients as well, sometimes salt, sometimes basil, sometimes onion, sometimes other milder peppers. All good ingredients, typically. That said, what we’re talking about above is a generic recipe for chili powder, which leaves it open to interpretation as well as experimentation, particularly where us spicy loving chiliheads are involved. We want it SPICY, don’t we? We want it HOT! We want it BOLD! YES! Got any questions? Ask away! I’m happy to help. If you enjoy this recipe, I hope you’ll leave a comment with some STARS. Also, please share it on social media. Don’t forget to tag us at #ChiliPepperMadness. I’ll be sure to share! Thanks! — Mike H.

Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl. Use as needed.
Of course you are free to adjust your ratios to your own personal preferences, as mentioned. Too spicy? Reduce the cayenne. Want a smoky element? Use smoked paprika instead of regular paprika. You can also find HOT paprika on the market. Great for me! Love garlic? Double it. Add salt as you see fit.

Also, the fumes from the chili peppers and/or the fine powders may get into the air if you are not working in a well ventilated room, so you may want to wear a mask and goggles. Superhot chili peppers, truly, are called superhots for a reason. Ingredients
