How to Make Easy BBQ Chicken Chowdown on a Stove Top
Aunt Lou here.
Don’t let the simplicity of this Easy BBQ Chicken Chowdown recipe fool you. It is a great, flavorful, comfort food recipe that is enjoyed by young and old alike. There are only six ingredients in all three layers of this dish, but they come together to give you an incredible meal.
The longest part of the prep time is frying the 10 pieces of bacon. If you would like to make the prep time a little shorter, you can always fry your bacon up when you have more time and place it in the fridge until you are ready to use it to top your servings. The same goes for your cornbread. If you would prefer to make it ahead of time, that works well too.
