Today I'm making the most incredible BBQ chicken quesadillas. We're starting with succulent, smoked chicken thighs. After piling up the chicken, some peppers and onions, bacon, and cheese on a flour tortilla - they're getting battered and deep-fried to create the ultimate plate of BBQ and Tex-Mex comfort food you could ever hope for!
