3. – Stir in the chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
4. – Pour in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, tomato paste, and beef broth. Stir to combine.
5. – Bring the chili to a simmer and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded and the chili has thickened.

7. – Serve the Wendys Chili Recipe hot, topped with shredded cheese, diced onions, and your other favorite toppings.
Notes
For a thicker chili, you can let it simmer for a bit longer. If the chili is too thick, add a splash of beef broth or water to thin it out. This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to feed a crowd.
