Hot chimichurri sauce combines chilli with a complete savoury base. Herbs and garlic add depth, while vinegar keeps the flavour bright. The result can season a dish more broadly than a conventional hot sauce that depends mainly on chilli intensity. Shop Chimmy’s chimichurri range.
How Chimmy’s Spicy tastes
Chimmy’s describes its Spicy Chimichurri as hotter than Modern Twist but still balanced. It is intended to wake up the palate without drowning out steak, chicken, prawns or vegetables. A small amount goes a long way, so add it in stages.

Food pairings for hot chimichurri
Drizzle it over tacos, burgers, grilled prawns, wings or roasted cauliflower. Use it beside chips, mix it into mayonnaise, or spoon it onto eggs. For a fuller barbecue spread, pair it with milder sides so diners can reset between spicy bites.
Hot sauce, marinade and dip in one
Use a thin coating before cooking, reserve a clean portion for the table and mix another spoonful into a creamy base for dipping. This gives the same meal three related textures and levels of heat without opening several unrelated sauces.
Start mild and build
When serving a group, put the hot chimichurri on the side and provide a milder option such as Modern Twist or Old Classic. Diners can control their own heat, and the cook does not need to make separate versions of the main dish.

No. It includes a fuller herb, garlic, oil and vinegar profile rather than focusing primarily on chilli.
What is the best way to reduce the heat?
Mix it with mayonnaise, yoghurt or a plant-based creamy alternative, or serve it with starchy foods.
Can hot chimichurri be used for wings?
Yes. Toss cooked wings in a small amount or serve it as a dipping sauce.
