Girl, let me tell you about this absolutely divine BBQ midnight snack that’ll have you sneaking to the kitchen at 2 AM! Trust me, once you try this, you’ll be setting midnight alarms just to make it again. 🔥
Let’s talk about my Smoky BBQ Pull-Apart Garlic Bread Bites. This bad boy combines everything we love – gooey cheese, tender BBQ chicken, and buttery garlic bread. It’s like a flavor explosion in your mouth that’s totally worth the midnight calories!
What you’ll need (because we’re fancy like that):
– 1 large sourdough loaf
– 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
– Your favorite BBQ sauce (I’m obsessed with honey hickory, but you do you!)
– 2 cups mixed cheese (mozzarella and cheddar, because one cheese is never enough)
– 6 tablespoons melted butter
– 4 cloves minced garlic
– Fresh parsley
– Red pepper flakes (if you’re feeling spicy)
Now, here’s how we make magic happen:
1. Preheat that oven to 350°F (we’re not savages who eat cold bread)
2. Cut your bread in a crosshatch pattern, but don’t cut all the way through (think grid lines, honey)
3. Mix that chicken with about 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce
4. Combine the melted butter with garlic and parsley

Now, where were we? Oh yes!
1. Stuff those bread cuts with your BBQ chicken mixture
2. Pour that garlicky butter all over (don’t be shy!)
3. Sprinkle cheese generously (and then add a little more because #treatyourself)
4. Wrap in foil and bake for 15 minutes
5. Unwrap and bake for another 10 minutes until golden and crispy
The result? A pull-apart masterpiece that’s crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and absolutely perfect for those late-night cravings. It’s giving main character energy, and I’m here for it!
Pro tip: Keep some napkins handy because this gets messy, but honey, the best things in life usually are! 😉
