The Boxing Day Taste Test: Chilli No. 5 Brings Heat to Christmas Leftovers

The turkey's back on the table, the sandwiches are being assembled and someone claims they can handle anything spicy. Enter Chilli No. 5's World Hot Sauce Challenger Gift Set.

Featuring 12 gourmet sauces inspired by Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa, the £40 gift set turns Christmas leftovers into a tasting challenge, with the heat building as you work your way through the collection.

Dip leftover turkey into a new flavour, give your Boxing Day sandwich a spicy upgrade or gather friends around a tasting plate to compare favourites. From mild and aromatic to intensely fiery, each sauce brings something different to the table.

For food lovers who take an interest in what goes into their food, there's an ingredient story to explore too. Chilli No. 5 crafts its sauces in small batches using fruits, vegetables, herbs, superfoods and chilli peppers. 

Across the wider range, recipes feature ingredients such as guarana, maca, inulin, Korean ginseng and fenugreek, reflecting the founders' interest in both flavour and wellbeing.

The set makes a gift for the enthusiastic home cook, the adventurous foodie or the friend who always orders extra chilli. Bring it out over Christmas for a little friendly competition, then keep discovering ways to use the sauces long after the leftovers have gone.

The World Hot Sauce Challenger Gift Set contains 12 x 25ml sauce tubes and is available from Fortnum & Mason, Selfridges and Chilli No. 5 directly, priced at £40.
