Heat the oil: In a small saucepan, warm the oil over medium heat until it reaches about 275°F (135°C). Be careful not to overheat, as this can burn the spices.
Prepare the chili flakes: Place the crushed red pepper flakes and salt in a heatproof bowl or jar.
Infuse the flavors: Slowly pour the hot oil over the chili flakes and salt, stirring gently. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Store and enjoy: Transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to a month. Drizzle over your favorite dishes for an extra kick!
