BBQ Chicken Baked Potatoes
These baked potatoes are meals in themselves, with a smoky barbecue flavor that will make your mouth water. You can top them with your favorite cheese and garnish.
Dovetailing Tip: Bake 2 extra potatoes to use for the Meal 2 Potato Soup. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and dice them. Store until ready to use.
Dovetailing Tip: Wash, poke, and oil a medium sweet potato and bake it along with the potatoes. This will be be used in the Sweet Potato Biscuits for Meal 2.
