You should be fine glugging them without drying but I would advise keeping them in the fridge, likely the chili sauce should be refrigerated. alternatively you could get some hemp oil and infuse it with chili, that would last a lot longer without the need to refrigerate and is great during the winter months.

I'm thinking it would depend on the chilli sauce. Some contain a lot of sugar, this could draw the moisture out of the boiles and make them harder. That same sugar might encourage bacterial growth. I'd probably avoid Tabasco type sauces as they contain a lot of water which could make the boiies go soft. Personally I would keep fishmeal boilie hookbaits in the fridge to slow the fish oil oxidation, but like BB said, hemp oil or something similar would have the same effect. Chillied honey would defo make them go harder and the honey would defo be anti bacterial etc.
I would say the stronger the chilli the greater it's anti bacterial/fungal effects, I've had various jars go off but my 4 type superhot home made is 3 years old and no sign of it going off any time soon, it's like Napalm
