I seriously think BBQ Chicken is underrated. Over the last couple of years, everything is Buffalo Chicken. It seems you can get it in any form, pizza, dip, nachos, on top of baked potatoes, chili, and so on. Now don’t get me wrong, I certainly love buffalo chicken and will gladly eat it in all those forms, but sometimes it’s nice to have a change of pace.
The first time I made these nachos was for a get together with friends many years ago. One friend in particular really loved these and asks for them often. When we had friends over this past Saturday, and I found out he was coming, I knew these had to be on the menu. Not only are they delicious but they are incredibly easy and require very few ingredients and not much preparation time.
I always use a rotisserie chicken for these to save time, but you could always poach and then shred two chicken breasts instead. Since I usually only make these for parties, I like the premade chicken route to save time. I kept the fixins’ pretty simple on these and served sour cream and jalapeños on the side, but the possibilities are pretty endless. You can mix up the cheese with whatever you have and add lettuce, green onions, or tomatoes.
These BBQ Chicken Nachos are always a big hit when I make them, and our small group of people easily polished off this entire tray of nachos! These would be great for your next party or just for a Sunday afternoon in front of the TV!

Wow! They look so tasty! For sure, I will try to make them. I let you know. Indeed, what is buffalo chicken? (I’m from Catalonia and I don’t know what it is) =)
Buffalo Chicken is chicken mixed with a hot and spicy red sauce. I have been to Catalonia and it is a beautiful place!! I actually brought my own hot sauce though when I lived in Spain, so I can see why you have never heard of Buffalo Chicken!
