We propose a setup which combines giant emitters (coupling to light at multiple points separated by wavelength distances) with nonlinear quantum optics and its correlated photons. In this setup, we reveal a mechanism for multiphoton chiral emission: the propagation phase of the center of mass of two strongly correlated photons (a doublon), and the phases encoded in the coupling points of two giant emitters, can yield completely destructive interference in one propagation direction while supporting emission in the other direction. The degree of chirality can be tuned by the phases of the couplings. We show that the proposed setup can provide directional quantum many-body resources, and can be configured as a building block for a chiral quantum network with ``correlated flying qubits'', enabling distinct applications beyond linear chiral setups. Our findings point toward a rich landscape of tailoring multiphoton propagation and correlation properties by exploiting interference effects of giant emitters coupling to nonlinear photonic baths.
