Animal's Chicken Chili by Animal's BBQ

This is a very warm chili not intended for the timid.  
It is thick  and hearty enough to eat with a fork. A real 
favorite during Bike week Daytona when the weather starts 
to cool off.

Served exclusively by Animal's BBQ @ Foxhead Inn, Osteen, 
Florida.

Ingredients:
4lb fresh chicken (dust with pepper & garlic only) Do not 
add salt it will dry chicken. Smoke chicken over oak fire 
@270-300 degrees for 3-4 hours (no salt brine) When chicken 
is done it will be honey gold brown and if you break the skin 
the juices will run freely. Let chicken cool.  Remove skin and 
bones and pull chicken into bite size strips and set aside.

In a large pot sautee until translucent and reduced by half 
(do not allow to dry add small amounts of water if needed.)

	1 large green peppers cut into thin strips
	2 large red pepper cut into thin strips
	1 large yellow onion cut into thin strips
	1 large red onion cut into thin strips
	2 large shallots cut into thin strips
	5 tablespoons olive oil

After mixture is reduced by half add:

	5 tablespoons of chili powder
	1 1/2  tablespoon of cummin
	1 1/2 bulbs of garlic chopped fine
	32 ozs of peeled diced plum tomatoes
	6 tablespoons of Bullseye BBQ sauce
	1 teaspoon of Animal's Smoked Red Savina Habanero Pepper powder

(If you have fresh R.S. Habaneros Substitute 1-3 whole peppers 
blasted in a food processor)
 
After the mixture comes to a boil add the chicken back into the pot.  
When the pot comes to a second boil your mixture should be 20% liquid.  
At this point continue to reduce or add water to reach 20% liquid.
	
Add:
	2 /16 oz cans of dark red kidney beans drained and rinsed
	
Continue to heat for 5 minutes until beans are heated through.

Animal's Chicken Chili is now ready to be served many ways:
	
	Plain with a fork from a cup or bowl.

	Schredded R.S. Haby pepper on top.
	Served with fresh buttered cornbread moist and tender.
	Over rice with fresh grated mound of Asiago cheese.
