Deep Fried Chicken Quesadilla Recipe: So Jared, you can’t possibly make a quesadilla taste any freaking better! But au contraire mon frère, I can chuck it in a deep fryer which makes everything better. And when Jared makes an appetizer of this quality then Jared gets to talk in the third person!
And this appetizer is the (insert 4 letter word)ing bomb! Not to mention it is super easy to make. I recommend using some rotisserie chicken from your grocery store. Just shred it up, maybe mix in some BBQ sauce for some moisture and you will be good to go.
Also do not forget to make some quality Guacamole to dip these bad boys in. The flavor will blow your mind.
