  • 1 quart chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons duck fat Can substitute other animal fat.
  • 2 limes Zest and juice required.

Spices

  • 1 tablespoon salt

Instructions
 

Preparation of Chicken

  • Separate the components of the rotisserie chicken, cutting the meat into bite-sized pieces and skin into strips.
  • Arrange skin strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 10-13 minutes until crispy.
  • Zest and juice the limes to yield about 1/4 cup of lime juice.

Create the Chili Base

  • In a large 6-quart pot, heat duck fat over medium-high heat.
  • Add all spices and toast for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in chicken stock and whisk to combine.
  • Cut cream cheese into chunks and add to the pot, whisking until incorporated and smooth.

Simmer and Finish

  • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped chicken, lime zest, and lime juice.
  • Ladle chili into bowls and top with crispy skin chips, a dollop of sour cream, cilantro, and lime wedges.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently and add chicken stock if needed.
