Grilling can be such an experience. You can make anything from appetizers to full blown meals. Cook things low and slow to fast and furious in a matter of minutes. Lately, I have been on an appetizer KICK and THESE smoking' yard bird bites are NO exception to flavor and grilling royalty.
First off, a little history behind the yard bird bites.....JUST KIDDING! Let's get to the nitty gritty on how to make this STUNNING and FLAVORFUL appetizer for YOUR next get together.
INGREDIENTS
- 2-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite size chunks)
- 1 jar of hot dill pickles (I mixed Kosmo's Q Dirty Bird Sriracha into hamburger dill pickles)
- 1lb thick sliced bacon
- 1/4 cup TX Brew and Barbecue Screaming Yard Bird Rub
- 1/4 cup Kosmo's Q Sweet Honey Pecan Rub OR Honey Killer Bee
- 1 container of Palmetto Pimento Cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place bite sized chunks of chicken breast in a pan to coat with Screaming Yard Bird rub. Coat BOTH sides evenly.
- Remove chicken bites from tub and place on half strip of bacon. Add 1 hot dill pickle slice, one tbs of pimento cheese, and secure bacon around the bite with a toothpick.
- Season the chicken bites with Sweet Honey Pecan Rub.
- Prepare charcoal grill or gas grill for 2 zone grilling – hot and cool side. Shoot for 300º-350ºF.
- Place the bacon wrapped bites on the cool side of the grill away from direct heat. Let them cook for 35-45 minutes moving as necessary to prevent burning. Internal temperature should reach 165ºF internal.
- Serve these spicy bacon wrapped chicken bites with a sweet barbecue sauce to offset the heat.
