This easy Spicy Buffalo Chicken Chili recipe has all of the flavors of spicy buffalo chicken wings in a neat and tidy bowl! This thick and hearty, super tasty, stovetop chili is perfect for game day!
Buffalo wings are one of my favorite things to eat, but they are so messy! It’s hard to look like a lady with chicken bones hanging out of your mouth and sauce dripping down your chin. This is one of may favorite chili recipes because it is so easy, so flavorful, and it serves a crowd!
How to make buffalo chicken chili
In a dutch oven, over medium heat, warm 1 Tbsp oil and 1 Tbsp butter. Add 2 pounds ground chicken and cook for 5 minutes.
Add 4 cloves minced garlic, 4 ribs diced celery, 1/2 medium diced onion, 2 diced carrots, and 1 minced jalapeño along with 1 tsp salt, 3 tsp cumin, and 2 tsp coriander. Cook another 5 minutes.
Next, deglaze the pan with 1 1/2 cups chicken stock. Deglaze is a fancy term for pouring liquid into a hot pan to remove the brown bits from the bottom. Those brown bits are little flavor treasures that will now be incorporated in to our chili! Not only does deglazing add tons of flavor to our dish, it makes clean up much easier😉.
Finally, stir in 6 ounces tomato paste, 8 ounces tomato sauce, and 1/2 cup hot sauce for the buffalo flavor and simmer for 15 minutes.
The end result is a thick and hearty, spicy buffalo style chili!
How to Serve
To serve, top it with some blue cheese crumbles and some chopped scallions.
I have also served it with these little corn “pancakes”. Mix together 8 ounces of corn muffin mix, 1/3 cup milk, an egg, 2 chopped scallions, and 3/4 cup blue cheese crumbles. Pour some batter on a hot buttered griddle and cook for a couple of minutes on each side.
Storage
Store your chili in the refrigerator in an air tight container for 4-5 days.
Spicy buffalo chicken chili is the perfect, yet tidy, alternative to buffalo wings. There is the buffalo flavor from the hot sauce, the heat from the jalapeño, and then the blue cheese cuts right through the spice. If you love all things buffalo but don’t want to look like one of the guys, definitely give this Spicy Buffalo Chicken Chili a try!
