Chicken wings smothered in beer-braised chili and topped with melted cheddar. Forget the usual buffalo — these Chili Cheese Chicken Wings are perfect for game day or any casual gathering.
Tender chicken wings are coated with gluten-free chili seasoning, slow-cooked until juicy, then finished under the broiler for a crisp exterior. They’re served with a rich beer-braised, beanless chili and a generous sprinkle of cheddar cheese. The flavor is bold without being overly spicy, making these wings a hit with picky eaters and spice lovers alike.
