Now that it’s January, Football Fever seems to be everywhere! If you are planning on hosting friends and family for the big game, I have a great way to feed a crowd without forcing you to be in the kitchen all day (and all game).

With the help of Farm Rich’s Boneless BBQ Chicken Bites, you can make simple but delicious food for a group! The Chicken Bites are made with all white-meat chicken and are breaded to deliver that much needed crispy crunch, then are tossed in a tangy BBQ sauce. Farm Rich Snacks are Real-Life Good^TM and make game day meals a cinch to prepare!

These BBQ Chicken Tacos with Corn Salsa come together in no time, and allow even the pickiest eaters to customize their meal to their liking.

I picked up all of the ingredients needed for the tacos and corn salsa at Walmart. You can find Farm Rich products in the frozen food aisle.

What really makes the corn salsa stand out is roasting the corn in the oven beforehand, which can be done while also cooking the Boneless BBQ Chicken Bites. You can have a little taco bar ready to go in just 30 minutes!

Ingredients (serves 4, multiply as needed):

For Roasted Corn Salsa:

• 1/2 of (8 oz) package frozen corn kernels, thawed
• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed, minced
• 1/2 red onion, diced (about 1/2 cup)
• 1/4 pint cherry tomatoes, cut into eighths (about 1/2 cup)
• the juice of one lime
• 1 tablespoon cilantro

For the tacos:

• Farm Rich BBQ Style Boneless Chicken Bites, cooked
• White corn tortillas
• 1/2 cup shredded monterey Jack cheese
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered
• 8 lime wedges (1 lime)
• 1 jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed, minced
• the remaining canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• the remaining roasted corn
• 1/2 red onion, diced
• Cilantro, chopped

I personally topped my tacos with the corn salsa and some cheese, but it’s a good idea to put out some of the ingredients found in the salsa in individual containers so people can pick and choose to fit their tastes.

To make the salsa and BBQ Style Boneless Chicken Bites, preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Add the unopened sauce packed to a bowl of hot water and let sit for 6-8 minutes.

Arrange the Chicken Bites in a single layer on a baking sheet and place on the middle rack of the oven. Add the entire 16 oz package of thawed frozen corn to a baking sheet. Toss the corn with the olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Add baking sheet to another rack in your oven. (Note: I used a 9 inch square pan for my corn; you can also spread it out in an even layer on a cookie sheet.)

After 8 minutes, flip the chicken, stir the corn and return to the oven for an additional 8-9 minutes.

Remove the corn from the oven and set aside to cool. Remove the chicken from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 1-2 minutes before tossing in sauce.

Add the chicken to a bowl, and add the desired amount of sauce, tossing to coat (I used it all !) Set aside and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.

To make the salsa, combine 1 cup of the corn, black beans, jalapeno, red onion, tomatoes, lime juice and cilantro.

Set out bowls containing the remaining ingredients. Heat the tortillas on a grill pan over medium high heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until grill marks are visible.

Time to dig in! To assemble, add a few pieces of the BBQ chicken bites to a warmed tortilla. Top with the corn salsa, cheese, and any other ingredients you’d like.

The roasted corn salsa is the perfect complement to the BBQ chicken bites. I love the barbecue flavors, especially in January!

These hand held tacos are a great snack for game day, don’t you think? What toppings would you put on your BBQ Chicken Taco?
