The exact ingredients listed on packets of Wendy's Hot Chili sauce are: water, corn syrup, salt, distilled vinegar, natural flavors, xantham gum, and extractives of paprika. Instead of hunting down Wendy's chili seasoning or stockpiling a pile of packets, we can pack just as much heat with pantry ingredients! Onion powder, ground cumin, New Mexico chili powder, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes are all you need for a scrumptious bowl of copycat Wendy's chili.
