FAQ about BBQ Chicken Pinwheels:
Can I Freeze these?
You can freeze for up to two months in an airtight container, however the texture of the cream cheese changes. I usually only freeze items with cream cheese if I will be cooking it before eating it as it melts the cheese and helps fix the consistency issue that freezing causes.
Can I use something other than chicken?
Pulled Pork
How far in advance can I make these?
you can make the pinwheels Two Days in advance, the mixture itself is good in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes
I used Trager Chicken Seasoning. It does not have a lot of salt in it. If you are using a saltier blend please cut it back to 2 teaspoons instead of 2 tablespoons.
If you don't have a chicken seasoning blend make your own!:
1tablespoon Paprika, ½ Teaspoon salt, 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder, ½ Teaspoon Onion Powder, ½ Teaspoon Thyme
