Instructions

1
Place the wire roasting rack into the Suvie pan with the sauce. Open packages with the breaded chicken and pour onto the roasting rack in the Suvie pan.
2
Open the package with Southwest Corn and Black Bean Blend and place into the other Suvie pan. Season with 1 tbsp of olive oil, 1 tsp salt and freshly ground pepper (for 4 servings, use 2 tbsp olive oil and 2 tsp salt).
3
Load the chicken in the top zone, and then load the corn and black beans in the bottom zone.
4
Using the track wheel, choose Cook Now. Alternatively, you can Store or Schedule the meal in the Suvie, but note you will need to select Cook Now to begin cooking your stored or scheduled meal. Input the following settings (Make sure to select "Yes" when prompted for Cooking from Frozen): Bottom Zone: Roast Mode at 325°F for 15 minutes for 2 people, or 20 minutes for 4 people.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Cook breaded chicken in olive oil over medium-high heat until golden and heated through (internal temperature 165°F if using raw chicken). Don't overcrowd the pan.
Toss warm chicken with BBQ sauce immediately after cooking so it adheres and glazes evenly.
Heat the corn and black bean blend separately just before serving to maintain the crispness of the fried chicken.
Season each component individually with salt and pepper rather than relying solely on the BBQ sauce for seasoning.

Substitutions

Southwest Corn and Black Bean Blend → frozen corn + canned black beans (1:1 ratio, heat together)
Cheddar cheese → Monterey Jack or pepper jack (for more heat)
Breaded chicken → grilled chicken tenders or air-fried chicken (reduces oil content)

Storage & make-ahead

Store chicken, corn-bean mixture, and sauce in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently to preserve crispness.

Common Questions

Can I use fresh chicken instead of pre-breaded?

Yes, bread and fry your own chicken pieces, or use air-fried breaded chicken for a lighter result. Cooking time may vary depending on thickness.

How do I reheat leftover BBQ fried chicken bowl?

Store components separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat chicken in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes; warm corn and beans on the stovetop or microwave separately to avoid sogginess.

Can I make this ahead?

Prepare the corn and bean base up to 1 day ahead. Fry and sauce the chicken just before serving for best crispness.

How do I scale this recipe?

The recipe is written for 2 and 4 servings; double or halve all ingredients proportionally, keeping the ratio of chicken to sauce and vegetables consistent.
