Tips & Substitutions
For a flavor boost, marinate the chicken in barbecue sauce for a few hours before baking. If you're out of biscuits, use crescent rolls or homemade biscuit dough as a substitute. To make it spicier, add some hot sauce to the barbecue sauce. This recipe can also be adapted with different cheeses like Monterey Jack for a twist.
