I was wild.
Yep, that’s right – me. Wild.
With the menu at Chili’s, anyway.
Chili’s has a new “Wild or Mild” menu right now and Brian and I got the chance to go review it. My family loves Chili’s, so this was right up our alley. Seriously, J asks to go to Chili’s any time we pass it! This time we left the boys at our friends’ house (thanks, friends!) and got to enjoy a date night.
On the “Wild or Mild” menu, there’s an equal counterpart in dish options on either side. You can choose from:
- Kicked Up Queso or Skillet Queso
- Blazin’ Big Mouth Bites or Big Mouth Bites
- Jalapeno Chicken Quesadillas or Bacon Ranch Chicken Quesadillas
- Crispy Honey Chipotle Chicken Crispers or Crispy Sweet Maple BBQ Chicken Crispers
We tend to like our food spicy, so we took a walk on the wild side and ordered the Kicked Up Queso, Blazin’ Big Mouth Bites and the Crispy Honey Chipotle Chicken Crispers.
The Kicked Up Queso has the regular skillet queso base with chipotle spice, pico de gallo and fire-roasted jalapenos added to well, kick up the flavor a bit. I’ve always been a fan of the skillet queso, and liked this too. What did Brian think?
Brian ordered the Blazin’ Big Mouth Bites for his entree. This consists of four peppercorn-crusted mini burgers with jalapeno-mayo, jalapenos and American cheese. Just like the regular Big Mouth Bites, they’re served with crispy onion strings and homestyle fries.
And I ordered the Crispy Honey Chipotle Chicken Crispers. I have had them before and love them, and the spiciness sounded really good so I went ahead and kept with the “wild” theme for the menu.
We loved everything we tried, so much that we decided we’d probably end up ordering the exact same things next time we eat at Chili’s. Brian said the burgers are some of his favorite he’s had because the level of spiciness is just right, and I especially hope they keep the Kicked Up Queso.

Definitely wild… the spicier the food, the happier I am! I think the Blazin’ Big Mouth Bites sound amazing. I always add jalapenos to my burgers when I make them at home. :)
