OLD BONES CHILLI CO - Smoked Garlic Chilli Sauce | Smoked Habanero & Cayenne Hot Sauce | 200ml

The Sauce That Put Old Bones on the Map

This is the one that started it all for Chef Josh Ngaire and the family crew in Sydney. Cayenne and habanero go through Old Bones’ own trade-secret smoking method, so the first hit is deep, woody smoke. Then the garlic rolls in — nearly a fifth of the bottle — bringing a rich, roasted sweetness. The finish is a building chilli warmth that hangs around just long enough to make you reach for another bite. Flavour first, heat second, exactly how it should be.

Perfect on

• Smoked brisket and pulled pork rolls
• Burgers — especially the egg-and-bacon kind
• Pizza and a bowl of pasta
• Scrambled eggs and brekkie wraps
• Tacos, burritos and anything Mexican
• A proper Aussie meat pie

In the bottle

A rich brick-red sauce with a smooth, pourable body that clings to food rather than running off the plate. Heat sits at Medium on the Old Bones scale — a warm, rounded burn that builds gently without ever bullying the food.

Family-owned, small-batch and made with Australian-grown chillies, it’s an every-night sauce that earned its place on the Rub Hub shelf the moment we tasted it. The 200ml bottle is the one to keep in the pantry, because it disappears fast. Shop the full Old Bones Chilli Co range.
