Chilli King vs Jixin vs Xiaomi
Jixin (chicken-heart) pepper is among the hottest common Chinese chillies at 50,000–70,000 SHU, alongside Xiaomi and Chilli King. These are the standard for extreme-heat products and chilli oil — but heat and flavour are separate, so the hottest is not automatically the best choice for your dish.
Chilli King by the numbers
Chilli King runs over 50,000 SHU — 100+ times hotter than sweet paprika (under 500 SHU) and one band above the 20,000–50,000 SHU high-heat varieties. Confirm the exact SHU window when you order, because the extra-hot band has no upper floor.
Heat values are representative per variety. Confirm your exact SHU window, form and mesh when you inquire.
