Barbecue Popper Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
-4 jalapeño peppers - cut in half and seeded
-4 chicken breasts - boneless, skinless
-1 block softened cream cheese
-4oz cheddar cheese cut into sticks
-24oz thin cut bacon
-1/4 cup Killer Hogs AP Seasoning
-1/4 cup Killer Hogs Hot Rub
-8oz Killer Hogs The BBQ Sauce
1. Prepare charcoal grill for indirect cooking using a 2 zone fire
2. Fill each pepper half with softened cream cheese and season with Killer Hogs Hot Rub
3. Butterfly each chicken breast and season with Killer Hogs AP Seasoning. Lay one pepper inside each breast and top with a stick of cheddar cheese. Close the breast around the pepper and season the outside with AP Seasoning.
4. Lay strips of bacon over the breast overlapping each slice to completely cover the breast. Tuck the bacon underneath the bottom side of the breast, and season with Killer Hogs Hot Rub.
5. Place each chicken breast on the indirect side of the grill and cook until the internal temperature reaches 155°F. Glaze the outside with bbq sauce and continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°FTIP: I pull them off at 160-162 and let the internal temperature carry over to 165 which takes about 5-7 minutes of resting.

Awesome little bacon footballs!

[@DanielNYR]

Reminds me of the time I had just got my own place for the first time. Had lived there less than a week, great mood wrapped some chicken in bacon strips and threw them in the oven and went to smoke on the balcony while it cooked up. Locked myself out. Had to call fire dept and everything because I was locked out without a way inside. They eventually got in and saved my building from burning down, the chicken wound up overcooked and dry, but STILL delicious. Hard to mess this up!

[@W.Vanderbilt]

I have been making these for 8 years only with chicken thighs from the first video you made of these. Still one of my favorites!!!

[@johnlebzelter4208]

Sure. Starving for attention?

That is exactly what I do with boneless thighs, they are always awesome!!!

I imagine thighs can only make this even better.

[@johnlebzelter4208]

Sure you do.

[@madmike2624]

@@johnlebzelter4208 I have been making them for over a year. Much juicer than using breast meat. usually have to cut the peppers in half due to the size of thighs, give it a try!!~ I usually wrap boudin in my breast meat, also very good!!~

Hey Malcom! Love your videos and products! We did the Braised Beef Rib Mac-n-Cheese the other day… y’all are gonna have to bear with me! Could you do a video using the Grilla Mammoth sometime? Perhaps get into the pro’s and con’s of vertical smokers versus the offset style? I’d love to know more about it!

[@thebaldchef14]

Looking good brother! I love this barbecued bacon wrapped chicken breast recipe spot on! From an old subscriber, you don't even know!

[@robertbernal3180]

Looks so delicious. Definitely going to make some.

[@shawnbowen6833]

Theres an older video on youtube titled atomic elephant turds i believe. Thats where i first saw this recipe and ive been doing it for years now. For me though, its jalapeño, cream cheese, i lay a fat bead of Sriracha down on the cream cheese, then bbq rub, then wrap in a chicken thigh, then wrap with bacon. Grill til done. Then a thin layer of bbq sauce on them then they go under the broiler until the bbq sauce is bubbley and starting to char a little. I call them elephant bombs.

[@TerryStanford-z5y]

They look like Armadillos when done!

Looks good to me!, but my wife likes bacon cooked longer. Might cook the the bacon just a bit before wrapping the breasts?

Only thing i would of done different would be to put it on direct heat last 2 min just so bacon can get just a bit crispier

Can't stand the floppy uncooked bacon you get on thr bottom. Ever cooked the bacon by itself for 10-12 mins before wrapping? Does wonders for helping crisp up. Much better bite
