For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth or stock. Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spiciness. If you don't have hominy, cannellini beans or great Northern beans make a fine substitute. For a smoky flavor, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika along with the other spices. This chili is even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld and deepen. Ingredients: 2 store-bought rotisserie chickens, meat shredded. 2 quarts chicken broth. 6 tablespoons vegetable oil. 1/4 cup ground cumin. 4 teaspoons dried oregano. 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper. 2 large onions, medium diced. 2 (4 ounce) cans diced mild green chiles, undrained. 2 (20 ounce) cans hominy, drained (or equivalent white beans). 6 medium garlic cloves, minced. 2 cups frozen corn, preferably shoepeg. Sour cream, for garnish. Fresh cilantro or scallions, chopped, for garnish. Lime wedges, for serving. Green hot sauce, for serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSimmer the Base: In a large pot, combine chicken skin and bones, chicken broth, and 1 quart of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Strain the broth, discarding the solids. (30 minutes)
02
StepBloom the Spices: In a soup kettle or large Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-low heat. Add cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. (1 minute)
03
StepBuild the Chili: Add diced onion to the pot and increase heat to medium. Sauté until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the shredded chicken and diced green chiles. Add 4 cups of the drained hominy and all but 1 cup of the strained chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover partially, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes. (30 minutes)
04
StepAdd Depth and Texture: In a blender or food processor, combine the remaining 2 cups of hominy with the reserved 1 cup of broth. Process until smooth and creamy. Stir this mixture into the chili. Add minced garlic and frozen corn. Simmer for 1 minute, then cover and let stand for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (6 minutes)
05
StepServe: Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with sour cream and fresh cilantro or scallions. Serve with lime wedges and green hot sauce on the side.
