The sentence that contains an example of verbal irony is: "Seeing the untouched bowls of chili, the chef laughed. 'One of my biggest hits!'"
In this case, the chef is humorously asserting that the chili was a success (a "big hit"), despite the fact that no one has eaten it, which contradicts the typical expectation of a popular dish being consumed.
