Short Answer:
Chili plants are bisexual.
The chili plants are in the genus Capsicum, a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family Solanaceae.
There are 20 or 30 different species of this plant.
It appears that all species in this genus are "perfect" and "complete" and can self pollinate.
One would have to review all the species to see if there is an exception.
More Information:
Perfect flowers are also called bisexual flowers.
A perfect flower has both male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) reproductive units.
A "complete flower" and a "perfect flower" are different.
A flower having sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils is complete.
If a flower lacks one or more of such structures, it is said to be incomplete.
All complete flowers are therefore perfect and bisexual.
An incomplete flower that lacks petals may then be perfect if it still contains both male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) reproductive units.
Bisexual does not mean self fertilizing. Some bisexual flowers are self fertilizing and some not and some both. Mother nature has made a variety of arrangements for flowers. Self fertilization keeps the genetic information of the parent flower in the seeds.
Cross pollinating is outbreeding and means the pollen of one plant connects with another plant to produce seeds. Some plants are made by Nature in a way that they are incapable of self pollination and are said to be self incompatible.
Flowers that contain both androecium and gynoecium are called androgynous or hermaphroditic.
Thus, perfect flowers are both bisexual and hermaphroditic.
Mother nature makes some plants so that individuals of the same species are either male or female, not both.
These flowers are "imperfect."
This requires cross pollination to produce seeds. If a plant population has separate male and female plants, it is dioecious. This is relatively rare and only about 6% of plants have this form of reproduction.

Periwinkle is a bisexual flower, meaning it contains both male (stamens) and female (pistil) reproductive organs within the same flower.

Unisexual flowers, on the other hand, have either male or female reproductive organs, requiring pollination from another plant to reproduce.
