Barbecued Chicken Gorditas Recipe (+)

Directions

Place oil in large heavy skillet so it fills pan with approximently 1/2 inch of oil. Heat on medium setting.
Place pre-made and pre-baked gordita in oil, about 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy, turning once with a spatula. (A lower fat option is to cook the gordita by lightly coating the pan with a cooking spray or oil; this makes a less crispy gordita.)
Remove gorditas with spatula and place on a cooling rack or a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Preheat prepared shredded chicken filling.
When gorditas are cool enough to handle, split each with a knife to open a pocket for the filling and fill with the chicken.
