A bowl of scrumptious recreation hen chili verde. (Jenny Nguyen-Wheatley picture)
This chili recipe works with nearly any floor wild recreation, however if you happen to’re recreation birds, then floor pheasant or wild turkey are my picks. This recipe borrows from white and purple chili, as I take advantage of white beans but additionally go heavy on the chili powder. It’s compromise with upland recreation birds or wild turkey, which might stand somewhat extra spice however isn’t overpowered by darker purple or black beans.
To save time, you would throw the meat, onion and seasonings within the crock pot with out browning them first, however I might advise in opposition to this as browning provides taste.
