Chimac range
Chimac grew out of a Dublin fried-chicken restaurant inspired by Korea's chimaek culture. The range at Spicy Dutchman includes four bold sauces and a three-pack: sweet, spicy, sticky and rich in umami, with flavours such as gochujang, sriracha, fermented soybean and kimchi.
From Dublin fried chicken to distinctive sauces
A trip to Seoul introduced Chimac's founders to chimaek: Korean fried chicken with beer. That inspiration first became a Dublin restaurant and then a sauce range that pairs Korean ingredients with a playful Irish approach.
The origin
Korea meets Dublin
Chimac began with crispy Korean fried chicken and sauces that became as important as the dish itself. That restaurant background still shows in bold, practical flavour combinations.
The flavour style
Sweet, spicy, funky and umami-rich
Gochujang, sriracha, fermented soybean, rice vinegar, garlic and kimchi give every bottle its own character. The sauces are flavourful and spicy without relying on extreme heat alone.
The selection
Four bottles and a tasting set
Choose one focused flavour or compare three signatures in the Chimac 3 Sauce Set. The generously sized bottles work for dipping, marinating, glazing and pouring over food.
