Good recipe! Personally, I prefer it thicker, but this still works. Bird's eye chillies used to be much shorter, about half to one third the length of those sold today. So they did look like birds' eyes. (Especially if you laid a single stray seed on top of one.) That was in the days of rural smallholder farming. Modern agriculture's constant hybridisation for larger yields and more attractive produce have resulted in the current longer variety. In Thailand, the name is 'rat droppings' chilli. That gives an idea of its size as originally found in its natural habitat. In the Malay and Indonesian languages, the name is 'rice grain' chilli, another indication of its original natural size.

I sat here in my sleeveless gardening shirt saying "I'd eat those peppers" and now I have to rethink my life choices.

@1337Sauce Only because you're using the max possible. The fact is bird's eye is 50-100k and habanero is 100-350k. Which means it's quite possible to get of each that's exactly the same rating. So overall he was right, since he didn't say they were the same.

I grew up with thai peppers. While I may not eat the whole thing I could nibble on it while eating other things. Pretty hot stuff.

"ran out of time for questions" Chef John always cracks me up!

It's one of the great characteristics of his videos ! I've watched video after video of his cooking skills & humor. It's the Great Escape of Cooking Shows.

quick tip from a thai chili eater: You can freeze the chili peppers and then cut off the stem end of the pepper and push out the seeds with your knife or some hard utensil.

Thanks for the lovely no-nonsense sweet chilli sauce recipe. I really appreciate that you are a chef who doesn't resort to unnecessary gimmicks by showing off your skills in the kitchen. But simply give us a practical, doable,an almost classic version of the recipe. 🌸

Chef John, as a person who lives in Thailand (from the US) and married to a Thai I would like to say that the Sauce recipe was spot on. The only thing I changed out was the Sambai Chili Sauce and replaced it with Chili Paste. I made one batch (1 cup) and the family wiped it out at one sitting, so I had to quadruple the next batch...Good stuff. BTW, I enjoy watching your videos along with you unique sense of humor and twist on words. Thanks

Chef John, you are the Mr. Rodgers of cooking. Thanks!

I'd save that packet of sweet chilli sauce and serve it with my home made spring rolls.

Hello, I am a pepper farmer, and I personally produce probably half a ton or more of peppers for sale every year. I grow jalapenos, anaheims, bell peppers, pimentos, and a variety of mexican chiles. Suffice it to say, you might call me a pepper expert. I know that with almost all peppers, they are actually spicier if they are green. I know, I know, it sounds like it's wrong, but you have to try to understand why the pepper plant decides to make itself spicy. The pepper plant wants to be spicy when it is young to protect it's seeds from being eaten because they are not ripe enough yet. However, at a certain stage in the pepper's development, it actually wants to be eaten by creatures, because it's seeds pass through animals and then are deposited in the fecal matter of the animals, which plants a new pepper plant. That is why red peppers have more sugar and less capsaicin than green peppers. I believe that the stereotype about "red being spicier" comes from the fact that bell peppers developed to be sold red are typically a little spicier than bell peppers developed to be sold green. However, if you leave them on the plant, green bell peppers will turn red and then be less spicy. Similarly, the bell peppers that are sold red will be spicier if eaten green. I've never grown these Thai peppers but it would really astound me if they go opposite to the law of peppers. The law of peppers states that green peppers from the same plant are always spicier than the red peppers.

ColoradoFarmerJoe You are correct Thai chilies are hotter when green. I’ve grown Thai chilies in a small home owners garden many times. To me and this is only my opinion Thai chilies are just a little bit hotter than Cheyenne but a total different flavor.

Lol, in Indonesia we have exactly the same chili like in Thailand, exactly the same taste and shape and those red chillies are waaaaay hotter than the green ones. Our Eas Asian chillies obviously have different characteristic from your chillies in America.

Pepper Plants can Think? Awesome.

Chef John thanks for your dry humor. You always brighten my sucky days.

I could be assuming here, but in the Caribbean we call them "bird" pepper and it's because of all the peppers on the islands these are the only ones the birds feed on. So maybe the name drives from the fact that birds have an eye for them? Additionally, you find these growing in areas where there's never been humans living (forest etc) since when the birds eat and pass them out, the seeds drop and chances are.. they grow.

Hi Chris! I've read that chili's like these have developed a high concentration of capsaicin to protect them from fungus. But as an added bonus (or some really clever plant-strategy) that also makes them unappetising to mammals, but not to birds as they lack the taste receptors to feel the heat. The trick there is that while mammals would chew and destroy the seeds, the birds indeed pass them out intact to grow a new plant. Plus they are are better delivery system with more range then for example some lazy goat that would just poop close the the plant it fed on. But as you mentioned these are the only ones the birds exclusively feed on there may be other animals besides us that got a taste for that sunshine!

I made this tonight with the shrimp cakes. Amazingly easy and delicious. Thanks Chef John!

I love your videos Chef John, you're my favorite!

Very amazing and delicious! I doubled the amount of corn starch because I like thicker sauces and it came out just perfect. I made some onion rings (also your recipe) and it worked really well together. Thanks for sharing this!

always love your narrating.. always get a chuckle..thanks!

You are clearly my favorite chef. We have tried almost all of your recipes and have a blast doing it!

"I'm not even sure that I like you"...so perfect. great video's...can't stop.

You are amazing chef john. Your sense of humour really makes the videos entertaining.

Great stuff! Made it and loved it! Thanks for the super easy recipe!

Chef Jhon you always find ways to make me smile even at darkest moments.

So many vids these weeks. Youre the bestt

Hi Chef John, you're amazing, keep cooking. Cheers from Melbourne Australia

Thanks for the recipe John, I've been dying to make this sauce.

Love Thai sauces... so delicious !

Love it! Thanks, Chef John.

You crack me up!! :D Thanks for the laughs and the super awesome ideas and recipes!!!

This sauce is pure awesomeness. Making this recipe for my third time right now.

Best American chef in the USA and on KZread!

You knocked out of the park as always chef John so glad I found ur Channel

since i saw your videos for the first time, think 2 years or something, ive watched every video you have put on youtube :) I really enjoy your videos, even tho i dont make food myself that often... yet

Delicious looking sauce with gorgeous color.

Love Chef John, As Always Enjoy!!!!

Haha I love your videos so funny. But also your recipes are awesome, comes out perfect every time I make something

awesome! Thanks, definitely making this!

Looks amazing!!!

We, Indonesian, eat spring rolls with fresh chilly like those on your plate.. 🔥🔥

John is a Thai food aficionado, I think this is a awesome rendition of this classic dipping sauce

You've got lots of great recipes chef John but it sauces like this that made me subscribe to you. I loved your sriracha recipe, can't wait to try this chili sauce as well.

I'm addicted to your videos! Haha

I love your style, sir.

your channel is pretty fun, I really enjoyed this video. Greatings from Chile!!!!

Man. I love chef John. His monologue was on point

I love sweet chili sauce. now I know how to go about making my own. looks very tasty.

I've been doing this kinda of sauce a long time and never thought to add cornstarch! I probably add tapioca starch cos that what I usually have lol...Thanks for this tip! well...after all you're the king of food of you're youtube! 😋

chef John you are amazing

I can't believe you did this recipe!!! I been wanting to make such souce all week I even bought chillies! :DDDD yayyy double win

This sauce looks so good.

Looks good, as always! So, the fourth of July is just around the corner. It'd be cool to see something for the grill, like carne asada. Yummm.

Yessssssss I've always wanted to make this!

Cannot wait to try this on salmon, chicken breasts, and of course to dip in with spring rolls! Great vid!

John -- You are one of a kind. I really enjoy your recipes, and especially your free-handed presentations. You always make me laugh. This is one of those recipes that you just KNOW is going to taste great. Thanks for sharing! :)

I love all of you recipes Chief! I am very thankful you don't bang your spoon against the side of your pot after stirring! It's such an annoying habit of so many people! Thanks for all you do!

Noticed I was out of corn starch half the way through making this. Used a table spoon of Thai tamarind soup base (the paste in a glass jar) instead to try to thicken it. Not too great as a thickener but wow what it did for the flavor! Highly recommended!

Awesome recipe. I made a different Jalapeno Sweet Chili Sauce using Keffir Lime leaves and Australian Lemon Myrtle leaves for the lime flavour. All grown on my micro farm in Australia. Thanks for instructions, was a huge help. Marty Ware (Micro Farming Australia)

add some ketchup so you get emails from thailand, lmao

Amazing!! I will make this!!!

Chef John, you always have the BEST recipes! And while I love Thai Sweet Chili sauce, I am currently substituting stevia for any sugar. Terrible, I know, but necessary to be able to still enjoy the things I love. And, if you have a recipe for the thai plum dipping sauce for fresh spring rolls, I would love that. I have made one that is close but still missing something...possibly fish sauce?

Lol awesome video. Pretty instructive and funny! Thanks

I tried this once in my life. A few months ago when I went to KFC. Oh my god it is now my favorite dipping sauce ever!

Love you chef john.

Love it!

You sir are fantastic!

"that guy that cuts the sleeves off his shirts" - Brilliant...

i love sweet chili sauce. it is my most favorite sauce. i love eating thin cut steak with sweet chili sauce and rice, with a side salad.

I just made this and it is amazing! In fact I followed the recipe completely to the T and it was perfect! Except, I put in the cornstarch at the end because that is how Asian cooking usually requires.

Great videos... Please keep on going

So funny!. Always grt. Thank u☺

I cackled out loud on this one! The email, the sleeveless...you are so freaking funny! 🤣🤣🤣

Always love the funny comments in the videos!!! :) Please make a lot of Sauce / Dips / Condiments videos :)

I love you! You make me want to cook! What a hoot! You make my day! 🤗❤️

Funny...to the point and excellent presentation of most your videos

nice one chef John!!!

You are the true sauce boss🤗

I brought a pack of frozen shrimp for thisss, have been waiting for this video. :D

You are very very excellent Cheif .

We love you, John ❤️

Yummy! As always hilarious too!

I think i'm gonna try this sauce. Thanks

Definately going to make this this summer. The "Birdseye" chilli are the best pickled whole aswell. I have them that have kept in my cupboard for over 2 years and are perfect..., just refrigerate after opening.

finally. i love asian sweet chili sauces. now i can make a chef jon approved one

So now I am imagining all of the different ways that you could personalize a sauce like this. Green onions, mustard, all types of different pepper. The possibilities are endless!

Great recipe.

Amazing sauce

I love his voice, well done Chef, you're good. :-)

♥♥thank youuu!!!
