After all of the hurdles of the 2020 football season, it’s hard to believe the Big Game is nearly here. While traditional big parties are off the table for this celebration, that doesn’t mean we can’t have some yummy appetizers and a little family fun at home. This year, we will be making one of our favorite bite-size appetizers. I hope you enjoy this BBQ Chicken Cups appetizer recipe as much as my family does.

You can find all of the ingredients you need for the BBQ Chicken Cups and all of your football party needs at Walmart.

While you are there, don’t forget to pick up some Dixie^® Ultra Plates and Vanity Fair^® Extra Absorbent Napkins so you don’t have to worry about doing dishes after the game. Dixie Ultra^® Plates hold up to two pounds of food (score!), so those are a must-have when you’re planning lots of tasty food for the Big Game. The Vanity Fair Extra Absorbent Napkins are like ultra-soft paper towels, perfect for messes of every size. Sit back, enjoy the game (and the commercials) with the family without having dirty dishes looming for postgame cleanup.

BBQ Chicken Cups Appetizer

Crescent dough is one of my favorite bases for an appetizer because it’s easy to work with, and you can turn your favorite shredded chicken recipe into delicious, hand-held appetizers. In this case, I’ve taken BBQ chicken and turned it into an easy and tasty appetizer.

Shredded BBQ chicken doesn’t get easier than using an electric pressure cooker to make it. You just pour in the water and Kraft^® Original Barbecue Sauce, add the chicken, seal and cook. The chicken comes out so moist it shreds with just a fork.

If you are looking for a quick dinner idea, you can increase the amount BBQ chicken, skip the steps to create the cups and serve the shredded chicken with a side of beans and corn. But this full recipe is perfect for making a BBQ Chicken Cups appetizer that is perfect to snack on while cheering on your favorite football team.

While BBQ chicken cups are always a crowd-pleaser, they are also easy to make for a small gathering. And they are both adult and kid-friendly, so you can make these for the whole family to enjoy.

As an added bonus, they reheat beautifully in the toaster oven. My kids enjoy BBQ chicken cups as a tasty after-school snack.
