You never fire crazy.

Today was a two for one deal. The two new to me ingredients?

Ground chicken

AND

ground chipotle pepper.

Believe it or not, I'd never used ground chicken before. Ground beef? Yes. Ground pork? Somehow, I never had a reason to buy ground chicken.

I knew this chili recipe was properly named as soon as I read through the ingredient list. I think all that's missing is actual fire.

"Fiery Chicken Chili" (6 quart pot)

~1 lb ground chicken
~3 garlic cloves, chopped
~3 chipotle chiles in adobo
~1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
~1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
~1 t Worcestershire sauce
~1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes
~1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
~1 onion, chopped
~1 t ground cayenne pepper
~1 t ground chipotle pepper
~1 T habanero hot sauce
~1 t paprika
~1 t hot chili powder
~1 t liquid smoke

Saute chicken until just cooked through.
Drain fat.
Dump all ingredients in crock pot.
Stir.
Cover and cook on low for 10 hours.
Serve with a huge glass of water and a fire extinguisher.*

(8 servings)

The flavor was awesome. HOWEVER, we finished dinner nearly 3 hours ago and my mouth is still ever so slightly on fire. If you like super crazy spicy chilis, you'll probably like the heck out of this.
