I have to admit that I LOVE anything with Buffalo Wing Sauce. There is something about it’s tangy spiciness that I just crave.

If this chili is a little too spicy for you, you can add less sauce or top your chili with a dollop of sour cream.

For a variation of this recipe, make this a creamy chili by adding 4 ounces of cream cheese. It’s delicious!

Try this chili with some sweet moist cornbread found here.

My favorite side dish for Buffalo Chicken Chili is Sweet Moist Cornbread. It is THE BEST cornbread I have ever had and I know once you give it a try, you’ll agree.
