Equipment

  • Blackstone Griddle or flat top griddle

Ingredients
  

  • Cooking oil of choice
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or chicken breasts)
  • Kosher salt, black pepper, and BBQ seasoning blend - to taste
  • 3 tablespoons BBQ sauce, plus more to drizzle inside quesadillas
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey, plus more to drizzle inside quesadillas
  • 4 large burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 3 cups shredded cheese of choice
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, pickled jalapeños

Instructions
 

  • Preheat griddle to medium heat. Add cooking oil and diced chicken. Season with kosher salt, pepper, and BBQ seasoning. Cook for 6 minutes, mixing with spatulas a few times.
  • Add 3 tablespoons BBQ sauce and 2 tablespoons hot honey to the chicken. Cook and mix for 2 more minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and coated in a sticky glaze. Remove chicken from griddle. Scrape griddle clean and lower heat to medium-low.
  • Add more cooking oil to the griddle. Lay all 4 flour tortillas flat on the surface. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese on one half of each tortilla. Add the hot honey BBQ chicken bites on top of the cheese.
  • Drizzle a little extra BBQ sauce and hot honey over the chicken. Add cilantro if using. Top with another layer of shredded cheese.
  • Fold the empty half of each tortilla over the filled side. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until the tortillas are crispy and golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  • Remove from griddle. Slice and serve immediately with sour cream and pickled jalapeños if desired.

Notes

Chicken thighs are recommended over chicken breasts for juicier, more flavorful results. Always lower the heat before adding the tortillas - the sugar in the BBQ sauce and hot honey can burn quickly on high heat. Double the recipe easily for a crowd; the Blackstone has plenty of room.
