  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.40

½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
¾ cup Heinz Tomato Ketchup

2 tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken thighs: Look for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs that are evenly sized so they cook evenly.
  • Make sure the jalapenos are seeded and deveined: This will help to reduce the heat level of the poppers.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the chicken thighs: This will help to prevent them from tearing.
  • Stuff the chicken thighs with the cheese and jalapeno mixture: Be careful not to overstuff them, or the filling will leak out during cooking.
  • Wrap the chicken thighs in bacon: This will help to keep the filling inside and add flavor to the chicken.
  • Cook the chicken thighs over indirect heat: This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Baste the chicken thighs with barbecue sauce: This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Cook the chicken thighs until they are cooked through: The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken thighs rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

BBQ Jalapeno Popper Chicken Thighs Wrapped in Bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken thighs are juicy and flavorful, the jalapenos add a bit of heat, and the bacon adds a smoky flavor. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
