Bourbon BBQ Chicken Potato Skins Recipe

This post sponsored by Cooked Perfect.

I am naturally a Summer person. This can probably be traced to my childhood in the sub-tropical New Orleans. Since I have spent most of my life in the Midwest, I am now attuned to all four seasons and their accompanying fun-time activities. Except for one activity’s food which I crave all the time; BBQ! I am like a hungry tiger searching out its prey when it comes to excellent BBQ. One whiff of its luscious aroma, or a slight taste of its rich goodness and I am transported to the balmy and delicious days of my childhood. My children have only visited my home town, but they have inherited the BBQ gene. If I say chicken, the kids respond “grilled”! My husband is also no amateur in being able to ingest copious quantities of this heavenly prepared food. As a family, we ingest more grilled food than foods prepared any other way.

Currently, the outside temperature is in the mid-thirties and the prospect of my standing outside and grilling is about as likely as me surveying Antarctica. My cravings, however, are not in-tune with this immutable fact. Although my body is not easily fooled, I recently discovered the next best thing to actually grilling. I have discovered the phenomenal taste experience of Cooked Perfect Premium Fire Grilled Chicken. The title of this product does more to sum up its delectable qualities than my few words possibly can. Cooked Perfect has created an incredible product. They use only top-quality premium chicken which comes in a variety of unique flavors, but my family especially loves the Bourbon BBQ Thighs, Lemon Herb Tenders, and Zesty Herb & Spices Wings. My favorite is all of the above. This infinitely fine chicken is perfectly prepared by being grilled in all its flavor and juices over an open fire which locks in every bit of its yummy goodness. When I cook them my entire kitchen smells like BBQ! The aroma is enchanting. I think if I opened my doors the neighborhood dogs would come running. Probably, the neighbors as well.

Cooked Perfect Premium Fire Grilled Chicken has no thick breading that cuts back on real meat. Every bite is sublime chicken-goodness. Because the chicken comes marinated and fully cooked, preparation is super quick and easy.  It could not be more simple nor more ideal for busy meal providers. For me, it is near perfection! This chicken is the perfect solution for the “what-do-I-cook tonight problem”. By swapping flavors, I can serve my family some version of this incredible product multiple times per week. Where I used to get groans and frowns for this practice, now it is only smiles and compliments! Earlier this week, I served the Bourbon BBQ Chicken Thighs for dinner.  It was a hit and also very versatile!  With the chicken leftovers I easily adapted the old to new recipes. Tonight I am making Bourbon Chicken Potato Skins to accompany our meal which I know will be absolutely mouth-watering, tummy-pleasing goodness. Cooked Perfect Premium Fire Grilled Chicken is found in the freezer aisle at Kroger, Stop & Shop, Giant and Wegmans stores. This year, it is coming to many other retailers. My advice is to try it; it will not disappoint!
