I know you enjoyed the Grilled Bacon and Onion Potatoes because so many of y'all have pinned it or emailed me to tell me it was awesome! You're welcome, and I love you back. Now get to the gym.
So now that you've tasted the delicious side dish in this grilling series, let's get right to the main course, Sweet Chili Bacon Chicken Skewers. I've made this dish a TON of times and there is never any left, ever. It's just the absolute perfect blend of sweet and hot (sort of like me) and I haven't found a single person yet who doesn't love it.
The great thing about this recipe (especially for you campers) is that you can make it ahead of time, freeze it, and then grill it later on when you get to the campsite. Just be really careful about the thawing process . . . disclaimer . . . thawing chicken at room temperature is bad, naughty, potentially deadly and might cause mad chicken disease so don't do it . . . don't say you weren't warned.
SWEET CHILI BACON CHICKEN SKEWERS
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
1 1# package of sliced bacon, your desired thickness.
2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 or 2 tablespoons chili powder (I use one because I don't like my mouth to be on fire, unless it's because my husband is kissing me, but well . . . I digress)
- Heat your grill to about 350 degrees F. (I can't convert it if you live in another country. I'm challenged that way.)
- Cut chicken breasts into 1" cubes.
- Mix chili powder and brown sugar together in a Ziploc bag. Shake cut up chicken breasts in that mixture.
- Cut each bacon slice into thirds, wrap around chicken cube. Secure with wooden skewer. (NOTE: If you don't already know this, you have to soak your wooden skewers in water before you cook on the grill with them. Think about it Wood. Fire. Firewood.)
- Grill those babies for about 30-35 minutes, but the time totally depends on how big you cut your chicken!
For the love of Cheese and Bacon, this chicken is so good! You will make it again and again, I promise you! And hey, once you make it, will you take the time to come back here and let me know what you thought about it, if you modified it, etc?
