A bright red, slender chile measuring less than 3 inches in length and related to the cayenne chile. It is extremely hot, so it must be handled properly during preparation. The oil in the arbol chile, as well as many other hot chiles, is extremely irritating to the eyes or any small cuts on the hands, so it may be a good idea to wear gloves while handling it.
