Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chili flakes and whole chilies to oil. Cook, stirring, until chilies start to gently sizzle, about 1 min. *If they begin to brown you will have to start over.
Add remaining oil to pot. Heat until oil is warmed through, but not too hot to touch. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
Store oil in an airtight bottle or jar. Shake occasionally to disperse the chilies.
