Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil, divided
- 450 grams boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons BBQ seasoning blend
- 3 tablespoons BBQ sauce, plus extra for drizzling
- 2 tablespoons hot honey, plus extra for drizzling
- 4 large (30 cm) flour tortillas
- 340 grams shredded cheese of choice
- 15 grams fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Sour cream (optional)
- Pickled jalapeños (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat griddle or flat top grill to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon cooking oil, then place chicken in a single layer. Season evenly with kosher salt, black pepper, and BBQ seasoning. Cook for 6 minutes, turning and mixing using spatulas to ensure even browning.
- Pour in BBQ sauce and hot honey. Continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes, stirring to coat the chicken thoroughly. Remove chicken from the griddle, scraping the surface clean. Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Drizzle remaining cooking oil onto the griddle. Lay tortillas flat and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on one side of each tortilla. Top with cooked chicken, additional BBQ sauce and hot honey as desired, and cilantro if using. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Fold each tortilla over to cover the filling. Cook quesadillas for 1–2 minutes per side until cheese is melted and tortillas turn golden and crisp.
- Remove quesadillas from the griddle, slice, and serve hot with optional sour cream and pickled jalapeños.
Notes
- For extra spice, add more hot honey or jalapeños.
- Feel free to use any cheese that melts well.
- Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the chicken.
