Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (smoked or rotisserie preferred)

1 cup BBQ sauce (homemade or your favorite brand)

12 refrigerated biscuits (homestyle or flaky)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup pickled jalapeños (adjust to taste)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra smokiness)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is where those flaky biscuits will come to life!

    Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce. Mix until the chicken is well coated. If you're feeling adventurous, sprinkle in smoked paprika for that extra depth of flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

      Bake the Biscuits: Open the package of biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake according to package instructions, usually around 10-12 minutes, until they're golden brown and puffed up.

        Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the biscuits are ready, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Slice each biscuit in half horizontally. On the bottom half of each biscuit, place a generous spoonful of the BBQ chicken mixture.

          Cheese It Up: Add a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the BBQ chicken. You can add pickled jalapeños at this point for a spicy kick if desired.

            Melt the Cheese: Place the assembled biscuit halves back on the baking sheet (open-faced) and return them to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Final Assembly: Remove from the oven and top each sandwich with the top half of the biscuit. Garnish with fresh cilantro and extra jalapeños if preferred.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve your smoky BBQ chicken biscuit sandwiches warm, with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping. They make a great finger food for gatherings or a delicious meal for any day!
