I'm not sure what went wrong, but this chili was a disaster. It was burnt and inedible.

This recipe was easy to follow, but the chili didn't turn out very well. It was too watery and lacked flavor.

I found this chili to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This chili was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chorizo.

I'm not a huge fan of chili, but this one was really good. It had a nice balance of flavors and wasn't too spicy.

I love that this chili is made with white beans instead of red beans. It gives it a lighter flavor.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a very affordable meal to make.

This chili was absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was tender and flavorful, the chickpeas added a nice texture, and the chorizo gave it a bit of a kick. I will definitely be making this again!
