What is Chili Butter?
Chili butter combines butter with Turkish pul biber, the mildly fruity, often gently hot red pepper flakes used across Turkey. It can be mixed while softened or melted so the pepper colours the butter and infuses it with warmth.
In Turkey, it is commonly spooned over eggs, soups or mantı, and works as a finishing touch for grilled vegetables and meat. Its creamy richness softens the pepper’s heat, while the flakes add a little texture. It is very high in fat and very low in carbohydrate, so a small amount brings plenty of flavour. Try it melted over a bowl of soup, or use a modest spoonful when you want a lighter finish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chili Butter
What is Chili Butter?
Chili Butter is butter flavored with chili, commonly made by mixing chili flakes into softened or melted butter. It adds buttery richness and a spicy, peppery finish to bread, vegetables, eggs, and cooked dishes.
How do you make Chili Butter at home?
To make Chili Butter, melt butter gently, stir in chili flakes, and take it off the heat before the flakes burn. For a spreadable version, mix the cooled, flavored butter into softened butter and chill it until firm.
What can you use Chili Butter for?
Chili Butter works well on grilled corn, baked potatoes, toast, eggs, and steamed vegetables. Add it near the end of cooking or spoon it over hot food so its chili aroma stays noticeable.
Is Chili Butter very spicy?
Chili Butter can be mild or hot depending on the chili flakes and how much is used. Start with a small amount of flakes, taste the mixture, and add more gradually; hotter varieties can make the butter noticeably fiery.
How long does Chili Butter last in the fridge?
Chili Butter keeps best in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator and is generally best used within about a week. Use a clean utensil each time, and return it to the fridge rather than leaving it out.
Can you freeze Chili Butter?
Yes, Chili Butter freezes well. Wrap it tightly or store it in a freezer-safe container, ideally in portions you can use at once. Thaw a portion in the refrigerator, then avoid refreezing it after thawing.
Can you cook with Chili Butter, or should you add it after cooking?
You can cook with Chili Butter, but chili flakes may scorch over high heat and turn bitter. For a clearer chili flavor, cook the food first and stir the butter in at the end or spoon it over just before serving.
Is Chili Butter the same as chili oil?
No, Chili Butter is made with butter, while chili oil uses oil infused with chili. Butter gives a creamy, rich texture and can firm up when chilled; chili oil stays liquid and has a different mouthfeel.
Can you use Chili Butter on popcorn?
Yes, melted Chili Butter can season popcorn. Drizzle it over freshly popped kernels in small amounts and toss well so it coats evenly; adding too much at once can make the popcorn heavy and soft.
How do you soften Chili Butter for spreading?
To soften Chili Butter for spreading, leave only the amount you need at room temperature until it yields easily to a knife. Avoid microwaving it for long, since melted butter can separate and make the chili flakes settle unevenly.
