  • 6. add hot sauce to taste and serve topped with mexican cheese.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh corn kernels. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • If you don't have chili powder, you can use a combination of cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper to create a similar flavor.
  • If you like your chowder spicy, you can add more chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
  • Serve the chowder with a side of cornbread or crackers for a complete meal.
