I had a responsive form, which had lot of CSS rules with media queries, !important, etc and was using chosen with class inheritance option. On resizing, there were often conflicts between chosen and parent css and things would break. I came up with a simple solution that worked for me: recreate chosen dom on every window resize:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
        doResize();
        jQuery(window).on('resize', doResize);
});


function doResize() {
     // Parent website's code, that would also reorganize select elements on the page
    jQuery("select.my-select").removeAttr("style"); // Remove display:none style added by chosen
    jQuery("select.my-select").removeClass("chzn-done"); // Remove chzn-done class added by chosen

    jQuery(".chzn-container").remove();
    jQuery("select.my-select").chosen({
                 width: '100%',
                 disable_search_threshold: 10,
                 inherit_select_classes : true
               });
}
