Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these devilishly good eggs:

- Mixing bowl
- Fork or mini food processor

- Small spoon or offset spatula
Ingredient Additions and Substitutions
Here’s where the fun begins! I promised you versatile, and here’s proof:
- No chili garlic sauce? Try sambal oelek or a pinch of gochujang.
- Dairy-free? Use vegan mayo—it works beautifully.
- Want smokier flavor? Add a pinch of smoked paprika or chipotle powder.
- Looking for a crunch? Top with crispy bacon bits or fried shallots!
How to Make Spicy Chili Garlic Deviled Eggs
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Boil the Eggs
Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, cover, and remove from heat. Let sit for 10–12 minutes. Transfer to ice water bath to cool completely. - Peel and Slice
Peel the eggs carefully, then slice each in half lengthwise. Gently pop out the yolks and place them in a bowl. - Make the Filling
Mash the yolks with mayo, chili garlic sauce, vinegar, sriracha (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. - Fill the Eggs
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. - Garnish Like a Pro
Top with your chosen garnishes—crispy shallots are my personal fave!
What to Serve with These Deviled Beauties
- As part of a brunch board with smoked salmon, pickled veggies, and bagels
- Alongside grilled meats at your next BBQ
- As a bold starter for Asian-inspired meals (think bao buns and cold sesame noodles)
- With crisp white wine or a bold IPA for serious flavor contrast
Tips for Perfect Deviled Eggs
- Older eggs peel easier—grab those from the back of the fridge!
- Use a piping bag for neat presentation (or a zip-top bag with a snipped corner).
- Taste as you go—spice can build quickly.
- Chill before serving for best flavor!
Storage Instructions
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Avoid freezing—egg whites don’t freeze well and can get rubbery.
