How spicy is Buffalo Chicken Chili?

Just like buffalo wings, the best part of this chili is the spice! Between the jalapenos and hot sauce, this recipe has quite a bit of heat. However, you can easily adjust it to your preference! Make it more mild (or spicier) using the measurements in the recipe card.

How long does chili simmer on the stove?

Once everything is in the pot, the chili only needs around 30 minutes to simmer. Total cook time is under an hour.

Can I freeze it?

Yes, you can freeze buffalo chicken chili if you want to make it ahead of time, or just save leftovers. Let it cool, then pour it into freezer-safe containers and freeze up to 3 months. Let it thaw in the fridge before reheating. If you are making this ahead of time to freeze, I recommend leaving out the cream cheese before freezing. Then just mix it in while reheating.

What should I serve with Buffalo Chicken Chili?

Chili makes such a great meal all on its own. I like topping this with tortilla strips, sliced celery, blue cheese crumbles, and a dollop of sour cream. You could also serve tortilla chips, celery sticks, or bread on the side for dipping! If you’re looking for something else to serve with it, try these cornbread muffins, baked sweet potato fries, or macaroni salad. This easy Buffalo Chicken Chili recipe is sure to please all. Top it off with tortilla strips, chopped celery, sour cream, and blue cheese, and you’ll have the most delicious dinner!
