BACON-WRAPPED CHICKEN SKEWERS



Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Skewers image

These bacon-wrapped chicken skewers are true love! Crispy, brown sugar coated bacon wrapped around pieces of chicken, grilled up until they're golden and delicious.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Three boneless (skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch strips)
One package bacon (I use Fletcher's hickory smoked stuff)
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Bamboo skewers

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a broiler pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Mix up the brown sugar, chili powder, and cayenne pepper, and pour onto a plate.
  • Cut the bacon slices in half. Wrap a half slice of bacon around each piece of chicken, pulling it kind of tight. Thread the bacon-wrapped chicken onto a skewer, making sure to poke each end of the bacon so it stays on. Place three pieces of bacon-wrapped chicken on each skewer.
  • Baked for 30-35 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and there's NO pink inside of the chicken (internal temperature should reach 163 degrees). Allow skewers to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right skewers: Use sturdy skewers that won't bend or break when you're grilling. Metal skewers are a good option, as they can be reused multiple times.
  • Soak the skewers: Before using, soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. This will help to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your skewers will taste. Look for chicken that is plump and has no signs of spoilage, and bacon that is thick-cut and has a good amount of fat.
  • Marinate the chicken and bacon: Marinating the chicken and bacon will help to add flavor and keep them moist while grilling. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or you can try a more complex marinade with ingredients like soy sauce, honey, and ginger.
  • Grill the skewers over medium heat: Grilling the skewers over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning. Cook the skewers for about 10 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
  • Serve the skewers with your favorite dipping sauce: Bacon chicken skewers are delicious served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Bacon chicken skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or a casual weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your bacon chicken skewers are cooked perfectly every time. So next time you're firing up the grill, be sure to give this recipe a try!
