GRILLED BACON-WRAPPED CHICKEN TENDERS



Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Tenders image

The perfect marriage of smoky and sweet flavors is what you'll get when you use the outdoor grill to cook up these chicken tenders! I like to use center-cut bacon since it is leaner and less likely to cause flare-ups. I find cutting the bacon lengthwise, and then using the thin strips to wrap the bacon, is much easier than trying to wrap using a wide strip. Use your favorite BBQ rub on the chicken!

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 chicken tenders
1 tablespoon BBQ rub (such as McCormick®)
8 slices center-cut bacon, cut in half lengthwise
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Season chicken tenders with BBQ rub. Wrap each tender with 2 thin strips of bacon, tucking in the ends to secure.
  • Mix together honey and water in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Place chicken tenders on the preheated grill and reduce heat to medium-low. Close lid and grill tenders, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until bacon is browned and chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (73 degrees C), 12 to 14 minutes. For crispier bacon, increase heat during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  • Move tenders to indirect heat and brush with honey mixture. Transfer to a plate and serve.

SUNNY'S GRILLED CHICKEN AND AVOCADO BACON SLIDERS



Sunny's Grilled Chicken and Avocado Bacon Sliders image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 12 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Zest of 1 lime plus 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
4 strips crisp-cooked bacon, chopped
3 avocados, flesh mashed
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon hot sauce (I like Cholula here), optional
Kosher salt
2 onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 slider buns
3 slices pepper Jack cheese, cut into quarters to make 12 squares

Steps:

  • For the chicken and marinade: Gently press each thigh between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to flatten (do this with a rolling pin, it's less brutal than pounding). Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag with the oil, cumin and lime zest and juice. Seal the bag and squish everything around until everything is coated by everything. Rest on the counter for 1 hour.
  • For the spread: In a medium bowl, add the cilantro, bacon, avocado, tomatoes and hot sauce if using. Fold to combine gently so the tomatoes don't get mashed, then taste and season with a pinch of salt if needed. Cover by placing plastic wrap directly on the top of the spread and refrigerate until using.
  • For the caramelized onions: In a large pot on low heat (or in a pot over the indirect heat area of a grill), add the onions, olive oil, butter, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring every other minute or so, until the onions are tender and a deep golden brown, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  • Remove the chicken from the bag, shaking off excess marinade. Place the chicken over the direct heat of the grill (or on the grill pan). Once the chicken releases from the grill and can be flipped, flip it to the indirect heat side of the grill (or lower the heat on the grill pan) and grill until cooked through, just 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove the chicken to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil for 10 minutes. Roughly chop the chicken.
  • To assemble and serve. Build each burger in this order, starting at the bottom with: the bottom bun, slice of cheese, big scoop of chicken and caramelized onions and the top roll slathered with tons of avocado spread.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • For a crispier bacon wrap, cook the bacon slices in a single layer in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken and bacon in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • To make the salad dressing, use a blender or food processor to combine all the ingredients until smooth.
  • For a more flavorful salad, use a variety of salad greens, such as romaine lettuce, arugula, and spinach.
  • To add a crunchy texture to the salad, top it with crumbled bacon, chopped nuts, or crispy shallots.

Conclusion:

This bacon-wrapped grilled chicken salad with avocado and lime is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. The chicken is tender and juicy, the bacon is crispy, and the avocado and lime add a refreshing flavor. The salad is also packed with nutrients, including protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a healthy dish to bring to a potluck, this salad is sure to please everyone.
