Almost-Wendy's Chili image

We've tried for many years, like others, to replicate Wendy's Chili. I've made friends with a local Wendy's franchise manager, and over the past few weeks, we've tried to replicate what we think is Wendy's chili... sorry, but no help on the hot sauce, except for it seems similar to Chinese Hot Sesame Oil, or Hot Chinese Chili Sauce...
