This combination will be a tantalizing medley of textures and a blast of flavors ranging from tangy to spicy. You end up with a simple yet sublime, crunchy condiment promising a multidimensional flavor profile.

Chili crisp-infused Greek yogurt is an excellent dipping sauce for crisp veggies and chips -- or for slathering over your barbecue grilled proteins. You can even use it as a marinade for your meats and poultry, like how tandoori and biryani chicken are made in Indian cuisine.
