Chukar Recipe: White Chukar Chili

White Chicken Chili has always been a staple in our house during the colder months. It’s one of those hearty, comforting meals that everyone loves. But this season, we gave it an unexpected twist! After a day in the field, I came home with a few chukar in my bird vest, just as my wife was planning to make chili for dinner.

We’d forgotten to pull chicken out of the freezer the night before, so we decided to substitute the chukar instead. Let me tell you—it was a game-changer! The rich, slightly gamey flavor of chukar added a depth to the dish that we’d never experienced with chicken. It transformed an already delicious recipe into something truly special.

The best part? It was a hit with the whole family. We enjoyed it so much that there were barely any leftovers—something that rarely happens with chili in our house. It’s safe to say this White Chukar Chili is now on our regular winter rotation.

Want to try it yourself? It’s easy! Take your favorite White Chicken Chili recipe and simply swap in chukar as the star ingredient. Whether you prepare it with fresh-cooked chukar or chukar from the freezer, the flavor is sure to impress.  It’s the perfect way to showcase the taste of your harvest and enjoy a warm, satisfying meal during the colder months.
