“I wasn’t sure how chili with buffalo sauce would turn out, but I actually really liked it. It had the cozy feel of chili but with a different twist. My kids aren’t huge on spice, so I added a little less sauce and it worked for them too. I also froze a portion” — a cook, 5★

“I tried this out for a game night with friends and it was a crowd-pleaser. It had just enough heat to make it interesting but not so much that people couldn’t handle it. I liked how the chicken made it lighter. Will definitely make this again. Thanks” — a cook, 5★
