Time 2h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups water
1 tablespoon kosher salt plus more to taste
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Small bunch fresh thyme
4 cloves garlic
2 pounds bone-in skinless chicken pieces, such as legs, thighs and breasts, halved
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped chipotles in adobo sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

  • In a large bowl stir the water, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon syrup until dissolved. Stir in the thyme. Smash 3 cloves of garlic and add to the brine with the chicken. Cover and refrigerate, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Mince the remaining clove of garlic and add to a medium pot with the tomato sauce, broth, vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons syrup, chipotles, chili powder and salt, to taste. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and gently simmer until thick, stirring occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the sauce for serving.

Serve the chicken with the extra sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality bacon: Use thick-cut bacon for the best flavor and texture. Look for bacon that is evenly marbled with fat and has no signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Prepare the marinade: The marinade is what gives the bacon its delicious flavor. Be sure to whisk the ingredients together thoroughly before adding the bacon.
  • Marinate the bacon for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the bacon, the more flavor it will absorb. If you are short on time, you can marinate the bacon for as little as 15 minutes, but the flavor will not be as pronounced.
  • Preheat the grill to medium heat: Bacon cooks best at medium heat. This will help to prevent the bacon from burning or becoming too crispy.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the bacon. Cook the bacon until it is crispy and browned, but not burnt.
  • Let the bacon rest for a few minutes before serving: This will allow the bacon to cool slightly and make it easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Grilled maple chipotle bacon is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great appetizer or party snack. With its sweet and smoky flavor, grilled maple chipotle bacon is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
