Is there anything quite as delicious as sitting around a freshly smoked chicken pulling hunks off to nibble on as the table is cleared and the night lingers on?

There isn’t much more than that I can think of than enjoying good laughs and cold drinks as a meal turns into hours of good company.

There’s even a bonus if we wake the next morning to find a few nibbles smuggled away for leftovers for the next day. Now, there ain’t a damned thing wrong with cold chicken right off the bone.

Admit it, you’ve done it a time or two.

Seriously, if it’s not your jive, we prolly should end this relationship right now…

But, if you aren’t looking to slather your morning in syrup and butter…. If you find yourself looking to whip up something that can quickly elevate the breakfast spread…

That’s a little more than quickly pilfered cold nibbles and is guaranteed to hush even the crankiest early morning whine, use up the leftovers and build some base with Latin flavors.

Set the bar and set down this platter of Smoked Chicken Chilaquiles in front of the hungry guests at your table (even if it’s just you. Not that I made this entire pan just for myself….

ok, I totally did. And then I took a fork to it. No shame).

Need some pointers on smoking that first bird? Check out this Smoked Chicken 101 and be sure to check out the recipe archives for more inspiration on how to use up the leftovers from chicken – and every other juicy hunk of meat you can think of. Cuz, I kinda crush on using up the leftovers.

Twenty minutes to a breakfast worth not wasting plates on. Just grab a fork and dig in.

Besides, it’s just fun to say Chilaquiles.
