How to Make Alton Brown's Chili Powder
- Combine all dried chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat.
- Toast the chiles, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes until fragrant and slightly darkened.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Carefully remove stems and any visible seeds from the chiles.
- Using a spice grinder or high-powered blender, grind the chiles into a fine powder. (If using a blender, pulse in short bursts to avoid overheating).
- Sift the chili powder through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any larger pieces.
- Store your homemade chili powder in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
