Steps:
- For the chicken and salsa: Position an oven rack in the top of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
- Bake the chicken nuggets according to the oven method on the package directions. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, make the salsa. Toss together the corn, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno with brine, olive oil, tomatoes, avocado, onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- For the nachos: Combine the beans, adobo sauce and olive oil in a medium bowl. Spread the tortilla chips in an 11-by-15-inch baking dish or rimmed baking sheet. Top with the shredded cheese and the bean mixture. Bake on the top rack until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the beans are heated through, about 10 minutes.
- While the nachos bake, cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and toss in a medium bowl with the contents of the flavor packet if included.
- Top the baked nachos with the salsa and chicken bites. Dollop the sour cream over the top and sprinkle with the cilantro leaves and jalapeno slices. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill and split the chicken in 1/2 from head to tail. Soak the wood chips in water for about 10 minutes. This will prevent the wood chips from burning as soon as they come in contact with the fire. Place the wood chips in the bottom of a grill below the grates. Set the flame on 1 side of the grill to medium and the other side to medium high. Place the chicken, skin side up, on the medium side of the grill. Cover and allow the chicken to smoke and grill at the same time. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes. Allow the chicken to cool completely before shredding the meat off the bones. Reserve for the assembling of the nachos.
- Form an assembly line with all of the ingredients. Start with the serving dish, then the chips, chicken, tomatoes, jalapenos, sour cream, cilantro and chives. Right before they are served, remove the cheese from the freezer. Using a fine side of a box grater, shave the goat cheese over the top of the nachos.
- Chef's Note: Paper vessels can be purchased at a wholesale restaurant or party supply store. I recommend using individual serving dishes that are 5 inches by 3 inches.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For the best flavor, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. You can also use a rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy option.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help to infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, or you can get creative and try a more complex marinade with ingredients like citrus juice, honey, or yogurt.
- Cook the chicken properly: Grilled chicken is the ideal topping for nachos, as it is slightly charred and smoky. You can grill the chicken on a grill pan or on an outdoor grill. Be sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked.
- Use fresh toppings: Fresh toppings are key to making delicious nachos. Use a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, and sour cream. You can also add other toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, or black beans.
- Serve the nachos immediately: Nachos are best served immediately after they are made. This will help to ensure that the cheese is melted and the chips are crispy. You can also reheat the nachos in the oven or microwave if you need to.
Conclusion:
Grilled BBQ chicken nachos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or gatherings, and they can also be enjoyed as a meal on their own. With a few simple tips, you can make the best grilled BBQ chicken nachos every time. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
