“Store-bought rotisserie chicken makes this spicy chili easy, but you could also cook your own. We like it with sour cream, green onions, cheese or salsa on top.” —Emmajean Anderson, Mendota Heights, Minnesota

I skipped the cream.Used flour and water to thicken, then added 1% milk.

1st time...NOT last time. I went a bit overboard and used heavy cream, because it was already in the refrig. Could have used 1 tsp. instead of 1/2 of the hot sauce. Topping off with green onions and Cilantro. This is so darn good!!!

This is amazing chili! I added more beans, broth, and used a can of mild rotel instead of the green chilies. We put chedder cheese and a little sour cream on top of the soup while in our bowl. I also used can chicken with some boiled chicken and used the broth from that. Again I can't say enough about this recipe. I'm going to enter this chili in a contest at our church this week-end! This one is a keeper! A Grandma from Colorado who loves a goood bowl of chili!

This recipe is great! It definitely has a kick! I will probably reduce the spices next time so my 2-year-old will enjoy it more. I also only used one can of beans. Quick, easy, and delicious recipe!

We really enjoyed this... I used precooked cubed chicken which I added along with the onions, and sharp cheddar rather than pepper jack - thought it might be too hot for the kids... Also served the hot pepper sauce on the side and made some cornbread to go with the chili... This is a great recipe for a busy night - it was so quick and easy to throw together!

This was sooo wonderful! I topped it with sour cream and we couldn't stop eating it! Store bought rotisserie chicken makes it a quick recipe!
