The Art of Creating a Quick and Delicious Chicken Nacho Platter

When it comes to creating a quick and delicious chicken nacho platter, there are many ways to approach this dish. As our host so eloquently put it, "whatever floats your boat." Whether you're using leftover chicken from the night before or fresh chicken, the possibilities are endless. Our host decided to use leftover chicken from the previous day, which they had reheated and then folded into a delicious barbecue sauce. This decision not only saved time but also added an extra layer of flavor to the dish.

One of the key elements that set this recipe apart is the addition of homemade tortilla chips. Our host showed us how easy it was to make these from scratch, simply by cutting white corn tortillas into triangles and frying them in hot oil until crispy. This process took less than 90 seconds, and the result was a perfectly cooked tortilla chip that added a satisfying crunch to the dish.

Of course, no nacho platter would be complete without cheese, and our host chose colby jack as their top pick for this recipe. They used plenty of cheese because, as they so eloquently put it, "why the hell not?" The addition of cheese melted perfectly in the oven, adding a creamy texture to the dish.

Now that we have our tortilla chips and cheese, let's talk about toppings. Our host decided to keep things simple with some diced red onion, jalapeno, sour cream, cilantro, and Pico. They encouraged everyone to customize their nacho platter to their liking, suggesting that viewers share their favorite toppings in the comments section.

Finally, it was time to assemble our dish. Our host added a dollop of sour cream to the top of each tortilla chip triangle, followed by a sprinkle of diced red onion and a drizzle of barbecue sauce. They finished off the platter with some additional toppings, including diced cilantro for a pop of color.

As we presented our finished dish to the camera, our host couldn't resist adding one final flourish - a trademark money shot that always gets the crowd going. And now, it's time to take a bite and see if all the hard work was worth it.

**Tortilla Chips**

Making tortilla chips from scratch is surprisingly easy. Our host showed us how to cut white corn tortillas into triangles and fry them in hot oil until crispy. This process takes less than 90 seconds, and the result is a perfectly cooked tortilla chip that adds a satisfying crunch to the dish.

To make tortilla chips, you'll need:

* White corn tortillas

* Hot oil (350 degrees)

* Kosher salt

Simply cut the tortillas into triangles, place them in hot oil, and fry for 90 seconds or less. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and sprinkle immediately with kosher salt.

**Barbecue Sauce**

Our host made their own barbecue sauce from scratch, adding an extra layer of flavor to this recipe. Here's a simple recipe you can try at home:

* 1/2 cup ketchup

* 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

* 2 tablespoons brown sugar

* 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

* 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir until smooth.

**Assembly**

Now that we have our tortilla chips, cheese, and barbecue sauce, it's time to assemble our dish. Simply place a tortilla chip triangle on each plate, top with diced red onion, jalapeno, sour cream, cilantro, and Pico. Add a dollop of sour cream and drizzle with barbecue sauce.

**Toppings**

The toppings are where you get to really customize your nacho platter. Our host suggested using diced red onion, jalapeno, sour cream, cilantro, and Pico. But feel free to get creative - what's your favorite topping?

**Presentation**

Finally, it's time to present our dish in a visually appealing way. Our host added a dollop of sour cream to the top of each tortilla chip triangle, followed by a sprinkle of diced red onion and a drizzle of barbecue sauce. They finished off the platter with some additional toppings, including diced cilantro for a pop of color.

**Money Shot**

And now, it's time to take a bite and see if all the hard work was worth it. Our host couldn't resist adding one final flourish - a trademark money shot that always gets the crowd going.
