Best vinegar to use for spicy chili sauce?

[deinleigh]

I’m making a spicy chili sauce and wondering what vinegar works best. There are so many options! What type of vinegar do you prefer for a chili sauce that really stands out? I’d love to hear your recommendations and why you think it’s the best choice.

For a spicy chili sauce, I recommend using apple cider vinegar. It has a mild sweetness and a nice tang that balances the heat really well. Another great option is white vinegar, which offers a clean, sharp taste that lets the chili flavors shine. Both types add a great depth to your sauce, but it really depends on the flavor profile you’re aiming for. What do you prefer?
