I grew up eating these insane BBQ Chicken Nachos that my neighbor would always make for any party or gathering. They aren’t your usual combo, but trust me they are SO SO good!! Think BBQ Chicken Pizza vibes but in nacho form. It is just one of those appetizers that you’ll eat until you feel sick, then count down the minutes until you don’t feel sick anymore so you can go at it again. I hope you can relate lol.
I made them much lighter than he does and I was able to clear 1/2 of the tray feeling like a million bucks! 🙏🏼 They’re also made on a lined sheet pan so there is barely any clean up at all. BLESS.
