This recipe comes from Episode 4 of Duck Camp Dinners featuring professional chef and hunter Jean-Paul Bourgeois. You can catch every episode of Duck Camp Dinners here.
There are a thousand different chili recipes, but when cooking at the duck camp, the best way to get hungry hunters fed with a smile on their faces is to keep things simple while simultaneously pulling as much flavor out of the ingredients as possible.
In true Cajun fashion, a portion of what we drink typically ends up in the pot. But in this particular recipe, bourbon is much more than an afterthought. The warm spices, vanilla, and oak give this chili a new flavor for your palate to process while still tasting like something momma would make. A quick chef's tip: Invest in a great chili powder or other singular spices to make your chili with. Never underestimate the power of quality spices in your cooking.
