Bring the bold, tingling flavors of Sichuan cooking to your kitchen with Spicewalla's Sichuan Hot Chicken Spice, created in collaboration with Chef Shuai Wang.

Inspired by Chinese hot pot traditions and Northern Chinese street food, this fiery mala seasoning combines the heat of red pepper with the distinctive tongue-tingling sensation of Sichuan peppercorns. Aromatic cinnamon, star anise, and clove add warmth and complexity, while a vegan chicken-flavored seasoning base brings rich, savory depth without the need for actual chicken.

Dust it over crispy fried chicken, rub it onto grilled meats, stir it into chili oil, or sprinkle it over roasted vegetables and fries. It also makes a flavorful dry dipping spice for hot pot, delivering a satisfying balance of heat, tingle, and umami.

Ready to turn up the flavor? Add this chef-created Sichuan spice blend to your collection and discover delicious new ways to enjoy mala heat.
