Skyline Chili is putting a new spin on its classic recipe with the launch of chicken chili, available starting September 22. The new option will be available at participating Skyline restaurants and in grocery aisles, including Cincinnati and Dayton Kroger stores, as well as Amazon.
Skyline says the chicken chili delivers the same “legendary flavor” as the original but with a lighter protein base. Guests can order it on any Skyline favorite, from the cheese coney to the 3-Way, while grocery shoppers can find it in cans, frozen packs, or heat-and-serve meals, such as chicken chili spaghetti. It has not yet been confirmed whether the product will be sold for a limited time or if it will remain a menu staple.
Nutritional and allergen details are available on Skyline’s website.

- Convenience Meal Solutions
- Skyline's chicken chili products cater to the increasing consumer demand for heat-and-serve convenience meals that do not compromise on flavor.
Sectors Adopting This
