Slow-Cooker Buffalo Chicken Chili Tips

How do you store Buffalo chicken chili?

To store Buffalo chicken chili, first let it cool to room temperature. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator—it’ll keep for 3-4 days. Note: Leftovers won’t freeze well due to the cream cheese, which can curdle when frozen.

Can you make Buffalo chicken chili ahead of time?

Leftovers likely won’t freeze well, but you can make this Buffalo chicken chili (and most other chili recipes!) as a freezer meal with some forethought. Follow the directions through shredding the chicken, then cool the chili and freeze it in airtight containers (leave at least 1/4 inch of headspace to allow the liquid to expand). To use, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat in a slow cooker or on the stovetop. Add the cream cheese and let it melt in as directed.
