For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce. If you don't have fresh chives, you can substitute with dried chives or other fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. This chili freezes well. Store in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months.
