2 cups chicken stock
1/4 - 1/2 cup hot sauce, depending on how hot you like it

1
Preheat oven to 375u00b0F or broiler to medium.
2
Place a large pot over medium-high heat, add 1 turn of the pan of EVOO, about 1 tablespoon, and the butter.
3
Once the butter has melted and the pot is hot, add the ground chicken.
4
Brown it, using the back of a wooden spoon to break it up in to small pieces, about 5-6 minutes.
5
Add the carrot, onion, celery, garlic, paprika, bay leaf and some salt and pepper.
6
Cook, stirring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes.
7
Add the chicken stock and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pot.
8
Add the hot sauce, tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes, and bring up to a bubble.
9
Simmer for 8-10 minutes to let the flavors come together.
10
While the chili is simmering, spread the yellow and blue corn chips out on a cookie sheet.
11
Top with the crumbled blue cheese and transfer to the oven to melt the cheese, about 4-5 minutes.
12
If using the broiler, 2-3 minutes should do the trick.
13
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the chopped parsley.
14
Top each serving of buffalo chicken chili with a few blue cheese-topped corn chips.
