👨‍🍳 How to Make Hot Honey BBQ Chicken Quesadillas on the Blackstone

Step 1: Prep the Filling
In a bowl, mix the cooked chicken with BBQ sauce and hot honey. Stir until evenly coated. Taste and adjust heat with extra honey or sauce.

Step 2: Heat the Griddle
Preheat your Blackstone to medium heat. Lightly oil the surface.

Step 3: Build the Quesadillas
Lay out the tortillas. Sprinkle cheese on one half of each tortilla. Add the BBQ chicken mixture. Top with more cheese and optional jalapeños or onions. Fold each tortilla in half.

Step 4: Grill to Golden Perfection
Add butter to the griddle. Place each folded quesadilla down carefully. Grill for 3–5 minutes per side until golden, crisp, and the cheese is melted.

Step 5: Slice and Drizzle
Remove from heat. Slice into wedges and drizzle with more hot honey. Garnish with chopped cilantro or a drizzle of ranch if desired.

💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Griddle Quesadillas

• Use freshly grated cheese for the best melt and flavor.
• Don’t overfill — a little goes a long way in keeping the quesadilla sealed.
• Press down lightly with a spatula for extra crispiness.
• Try flavored tortillas (chipotle, spinach) for an extra twist.
• Make a kids’ version by skipping the hot honey and adding just BBQ + cheese.

🔁 Variations and Fun Twists

Want to shake things up? Here are some ideas:

• High Protein Chicken Bacon Ranch: Swap BBQ for ranch, add chopped cooked bacon.
• Hot Honey Veggie Quesadilla: Use sautéed mushrooms, onions, and peppers in place of chicken.
• BBQ Chicken Burrito: Wrap the filling in a large tortilla with rice and beans for a burrito-style meal.
• Breakfast Quesadilla: Add scrambled eggs to the filling and top with cheesy mashed potato puffs.

These variations are great if you’re planning family-friendly recipes with cast iron skillet or griddle.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

Pair your quesadillas with:

• Cucumber Dill Salad for a cool crunch
• Pumpkin Protein Muffins for a sweet finish
• Sweet Chili Sauce as a dip alternative
• Cheesy Root Vegetable Gratin for a hearty side

They also work great with a side of seasoned fries or simple avocado slices.

🧊 Storage and Meal Prep Tips

Fridge: Store leftover quesadillas in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat: Toast on the griddle or pan for a crispy reheat — skip the microwave to avoid sogginess.
Freezer: Wrap individually in foil and freeze up to 2 months. Great for lunchboxes or quick dinners.

😬 Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using cold fillings: Warm the chicken slightly so it doesn’t chill the cheese.
• Skipping the butter or oil: That golden, crispy texture depends on it.
• Overstuffing: It’ll make flipping a mess. Keep it balanced.
• Not sealing the edges: Use cheese along the edges to help seal them when melted.
