Smoked Chicken Bombs Recipe...These Are AMAZING! | Ash Kickin' BBQ

In today's video, I'm showing you my recipe for smoked chicken bombs, and these are amazing! If you've never had a smoked chicken bomb, let me break it down for you. It's basically a jalapeno popper, wrapped in a chicken thigh, and then wrapped in bacon. The prep is a little labor intensive, but these can be made ahead of time, and then smoked the next day. These are a perfect BBQ snack or appetizer, and they're also going to be perfect for Football Sundays this fall! This were incredibly simple to cook, and for this cook I utilized my Lone Star Grillz Pellet Grill, which is one of my favorite smokers to cook on! For the seasoning I went with my Ash Kickin' BBQ Honey Chipotle which paired extremely well with the sweet heat of these smoked chicken bombs! If there's one recipe you make on the grill, smoker, pellet grill, or pellet smoker this summer, it has to be smoked chicken bombs!
Look below for this full recipe. Any questions? Be sure to drop a comment, and I will do my best to get back to you! As always, thanks for the support!

Full Recipe:
| Ingredients |
-6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
-Ash Kickin' BBQ Honey Chipotle
-6 jalapenos
-A pack of thin cut bacon
- Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce
-1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
-1 block of cream cheese
| Instructions |
Prep:
1. Cut the stems off of the jalapenos per the instructions in the video, and then make a slit down the side of the jalapeno. Dig out all the seeds and veins with a spoon.
2. Combine the cheddar cheese and cream cheese into a bowl, season with about a 1/4 cup of Ash Kickin' BBQ Honey Chipotle Rub, and mix together so everything is incorperated.
3. Stuff your peppers per the videos instructions.
4. Put your chicken thighs in a plastic bag, and pound them out so they're flat and even.
5. Season both sides of your chicken thighs with Ash Kickin' BBQ Honey Chipotle.
6. Wrap the chicken thighs around the stuffed jalapenos per the videos instructions.
7. Wrap the chicken bombs with bacon per the videos instructions.
8. Apply a light layer of rub on the bacon once wrapped, and before smoking.
| Cooking |
1. Set your smoker for 300°F
2. Put your smoked chicken bombs on the smoker, and allow them to cook for 1 hour.
3. After one hour, check the temperature of the smoked chicken bombs, they likely will not be done, and at this point keep cooking them, or move them to a hotter zone on your smoker to cook for another 30-45 minutes.
4. After another 30-45 minutes, check the temperature on the chicken bombs, thighs can handle a higher internal temperature due to the fat in the dark meat. The main thing you want is the bacon to be cooked thoroughly.
5. Once the bacon is cooked, and your thighs are 175° F or higher, brush with the raspberry chipotle BBQ sauce, and allow the sauce to set for 5 minutes.
6. After 5 minutes, remove the smoked chicken bombs from the smoker, and allow them to rest for 15-20 minutes.
7. After the smoked chicken bombs have rested for 15-20 minutes, slice, eat, and enjoy!

[@Dan-we7vs]

Bit of cherry smoke is fantastic on them 👌 👍

[@johnathantaylor2059]

Thins recipe is a BANGER can’t wait to try them…usually I do a pulled pork and mix the pulled pork in with the cream cheese and cheese and stuff it with that! But there is no way this isn’t good!

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Thanks brother! They're smackin!

[@mattcody4933]

I'm going to try it bro!

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Please do!

[@jessanddavidboham8014]

Oh my goodness those look so delicious I don't think I would have put that barbecue sauce on though because my stomach can't handle heat very well but they look great how they were but I bet that barbecue sauce is delicious and I can't wait to try these just like how you did them cuz those look absolutely delicious amazing and just a wonderful wonderful meal

[@mt_matt792]

Wife and I made these yesterday after watching your vid. AMAZING We will definitely be making them again Cream cheese seems to take the jalapeno down a few notches heat wise. I'm gonna finely dice a serrano and mix w/the cream cheese next time to give it a boost!

[@guyellis9095]

Leave the Jalapeno in the Garbage dumpster, along with chilli in general, as soon as I see contains Chilli on the ingrediants....back on the shelf

[@kingmanazgold6233]

It's the seeds that make the pepper hot, without them it's just like a green pepper.

[@LucidOscurity]

I agree with the above comment. Just put some (or all) of the seeds back into the cheese mix if you want more heat.

[@claudesawyer622]

I use a Raspberry glaze and these really get rave reviews from my guests. I make them 24 at the time and there are never any leftovers. They pair well with celery, cherry tomatoes and carrot sticks which add color to the presentation. Your favorite veggie dip is optional. I like the Blue Cheese dip myself.

[@jeremecrane7924]

Those look amazing. Got a new sub. I'm making those soon. Thank you!!

Smoked some chicken bombs today on my Pit Boss pellet grill. They turned out awesome & delicious!! All thanks to your video. 🍺😎👍

[@Stuffandfangs]

You should try a meatloaf recipe armadillo egg, I modified the recipe because I didn't want to use sausage so I used meatloaf, they're amazing.

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Sounds interesting!

[@chrisbarber1020]

Dam man never thought of that this looks awesome

[@AshKickinBBQ]

They are awesome!

[@jimcereda165]

Congratulations on your 1st place! Well done! Cheers Mate

I made these today for a side comp and took 1st place. Thanks for the idea..

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Congrats!! That’s amazing!!!

[@sleaverbar3717]

I’m going to be making these soon never thought about it I make jalapeño bombers right now, but never thought about wrapping it with chicken

[@keithbrown9927]

I never comment, but you are awesome bro!

[@AshKickinBBQ]

I appreciate that!

[@kristopherzupan3647]

Did this a while back when making dragon egg and armadillo eggs, figured I had a chicken breast left over with a jalapeño and stuffed them all together, which turned out alright. Never thought of doing chicken thighs, can’t wait to try it need to get some of that raspberry chipotle.

[@AshKickinBBQ]

The razz chipotle is awesome!

[@michaelphilip3919]

First time here. Mmmm Will have to make a big feed of these for the Fantasy Football draft

[@eltonsbbq-pit]

These bombs looks great! Gonna try this recipie on my WSM. Cheers from Norway

Darrin, Thanks for the shout-out to a VETERAN OWNED biz with Grill Pinz. I just bought them! " If you have been here before, then WELCOME BACK! "

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Always happy to support Veteran owned companies!

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

nice recipe, i used food glue on my bacon lol.. nice job them look tasty.

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Thanks Scotty!

[@mattcody4933]

Boy, bro, they're going to be tasty!!

[@AshKickinBBQ]

You know it!

[@carfvallrightsreservedwith6649]

Gonna be doing this. Thinking semi-fine spice milled pecans and dried minced onion mixed in the cream cheese. Thighs - equilibrium cure (#1 and salt to 1.5%) after flattening, then a quick 15 minute velvetizing. Oh yeah..., I can taste them now.

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Sounds great!

[@alexanastasiou2024]

These look amazing! Any thoughts on what we can use instead of Jalapenos? My family is VERY sensitive to spicy foods. Thanks in advance

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Maybe a sweet pepper?

[@user-dj6nb6ko7n]

Awsome Chicken Bombs! We won 1st place at a grilling/smoking competition this weekend. The only thing I did was add cilantro to the cream cheese mixture.

[@AshKickinBBQ]

That is awesome!! Congrats!

[@lsweeten1971]

Those flavor profiles just scream casserole. =D
