Zesty BBQ Chex Party Mix

This chex party mix has a little kick with hot sauce and lots of BBQ flavor! It makes for the perfect snack to set out for guests to nibble on, after school, game nights / movie nights, tailgating, road trips and the holidays. I always make this big batch and see it disappear throughout the week. Save money and make this delicious chex party mix at home, plus the smell it makes as it slowly bakes, ahh it’s just so good!

This party mix also makes for a great hostess gift to bring to friends and family, I like to fill a large mason jar tied with a bow and some wine.

It’s also especially good to bring a large container full to anyone who has a newborn baby. I used to eat this in the middle of the night as I bounced my babies around the house during those long nights.


Zesty BBQ Chex Party Mix

Ingredients

  • 5 cups chex mix
  • 3 cups pretzels
  • 2 cups peanuts
  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup bbq sauce
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce
  • Optional: 2 tbsp Chick-fil-A Polynesian sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. In a bowl add melted butter, bbq sauce, hot sauce and Polynesian sauce. Stir together until everything is combined. In a large bowl add in chex mix, pretzels, and peanuts. Pour the sauce over the chex mix and gently stir to coat the sauce, making sure not to break the chex mix pieces.
  • On a parchment lined baking sheet, gently pour the party mix and spread evenly. Bake in the over for 45 minutes, using a spoon to turn and mix the party mix every 15 minutes. Remove from oven and enjoy

welcome!

Crispy Chicken Salad with Shallot Vinaigrette 🥗 Crispy Chicken Salad with Shallot Vinaigrette 🥗🍓🫐 It’s simple but so delicious.  I love how it comes together so fast, and honestly? You could leave out the chicken and it still totally holds up as a side dish

INGREDIENTS:

CRISPY CHICKEN
1¼ lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 tsp salt
¾ tsp pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp Green Goddess seasoning (I use Trader Joe’s)
½ cup flour
¾ cup avocado oil

SALAD
4–5 cups spring mix salad blend
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
3 strawberries, sliced
⅓ cup blueberries
⅓ cup candied pecans
⅓ cup goat cheese crumbles

VINAIGRETTE
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp shallot, finely minced
½ tsp mayo
½ tsp Dijon mustard
Dash of salt and pepper
3 tbsp avocado oil or EVOO

DIRECTIONS:
Slice the chicken breasts horizontally into thirds if you’re using 2 large ones. If using 3 smaller breasts, slice them in half horizontally. Using a mallet, pound each cutlet until it’s thin and evenly flat.

Massage the seasonings into the chicken, then coat each piece in flour.

Add oil to a heavy-bottomed skillet. Once the oil reaches 350°F, add a single layer of chicken. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F. Set aside and let the chicken rest.

In a salad bowl or on a platter, layer the spring mix, red onion, strawberries, blueberries, candied pecans, and goat cheese. Slice the chicken and arrange it on top.

To make the vinaigrette, add the red wine vinegar, minced shallot, mayo, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to a small bowl. Whisk together, then slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking until fully emulsified.

Drizzle over salad or serve dressing on the side!
