Smoked BBQ Chicken Wrapped in Bacon

Smoked BBQ chicken wrapped in bacon is a mouthwatering dish that combines the juiciness of chicken with the smoky flavor of crispy bacon. The bacon not only adds extra flavor but also protects the chicken from drying out while the smoking perfectly brings out the aromas. In the world of BBQ, bacon-wrapped meats are extremely popular, as the combination of crispy bacon and juicy chicken is irresistible. The smoke of applewood or oak enhances the flavor of the meat, while the honey BBQ glaze creates a sweet-smoky balance. This dish is ideal for BBQ parties, family grills, or a special weekend dinner. If you want a truly authentic BBQ experience, serve it with grilled vegetables and a side of baked potatoes!

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Wash and pat dry the chicken breasts or thighs. Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and ground cumin.

    2

    Wrap each piece of chicken with bacon slices and secure with toothpicks or meat skewers.

    3

    Preheat your smoker or grill to 230-250°F (110-120°C) and prepare your chosen smoking wood for desired aroma.

    4

    Place the bacon-wrapped chicken on the smoker rack and smoke for 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

    5

    In a small bowl, combine the honey, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar.

    6

    When the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 158°F (70°C), brush it with the glaze. Continue to smoke for another 30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized.

    7

    Remove the chicken from the smoker and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute.

    8

    Serve with grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or baked potatoes.
