Can I Freeze Wendy’s Chili?

This is the perfect make ahead meal. Chili freezes extremely well. This recipe makes a large batch, so you can make it and freeze half or all of it. Let the chili come to room temperature before placing it in an airtight container or freezer bag and freezing it for up to 4 months.

When ready to serve, transfer it to the refrigerator overnight and reheat in a pot over the stovetop or in the microwave.

Your leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days when stored in an airtight container.

What to Serve with Wendy’s Chili?

If you want to serve this chili on its own, serve it with a thick slice of crusty bread to absorb all that delicious sauce.

As part of a potluck or a buffet for game night, you might want to serve it with chicken wings, dips and chips, or other finger foods or appetizers.
