I love the tang and spice of great Buffalo Wings, but sometimes you want something a bit more mellow. In this dish, we opted to add this beautiful Buffalo sauce to a ground chicken and take an ordinary chili way past extraordinary for a rich, soul-satisfying dish. The calories of this dish as compared to a traditional chili are lightened by using chicken in place of beef and changing the ratio between the chicken and the beans. The brightness in this dish is created by lots of spices that are bloomed at the beginning and buffalo sauce that was added toward the end.
