You could serve fries, tater tots, steamed veggies and/or a side salad. Could I use chicken? Yes, you could shred some store bought rotisserie chicken or you could cook up some chicken and cut it into smaller chunks. What if I dont like BBQ sauce? You could use sloppy joe mix (like Manwich) or even taco seasoning (just follow the directions on the back of the packet mix.) What if I cant find the right size biscuits? See my ingredient image below. You want to look for the smaller, regular sized biscuits (not the Grands those are large.) Most stores have their own store brand version. There are 10 per package. They are usually going to be the most affordable option as well. If you cant find those, you could get the Grands and just cut them in half and spread them out as best you can into the bottom of the muffin tin. How do I store leftovers? These can be frozen for up to 3 months. You can also keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or air fryer until warmed through.

Just make sure they arent the larger Grands biscuits those are too big. shredded cheddar cheese you can use store-bought or shred your own or use a different cheese altogether.
