Smoked Chicken Thighs wrapped in Bacon

Barbara,

Boneless chicken thighs were on sale so Brian bought a couple of family packs so we could make your smoked chicken thighs wrapped in bacon. They came out great. Brian put Mad Hunky on both sides of the thighs prior to wrapping them in bacon.

Good thing I came downstairs before he put them on the smoker 'cause when I went into the kitchen, he had 17 thighs seasoned and wrapped in bacon. I reminded him there was only two of us so we froze 8 of them and smoked nine of them. My goodness, they were good. Thanks so much for the idea!

We had them with risotto with wild mushrooms, tasso and saffron, which was a perfect side with the smoked chicken.

Sounds great! Don't you just love getting inspiration from our friends???

I ate mine like a hog  I did not even wait to make a side.


Smoking on this smoker is so easy.Much better for me,I don't have to add charcoal or add chips.Or baby sit the thing.

So it's like that infomercial gadget?

SET IT AND FORGET IT !!!!

We had the leftovers today -- still good. Brian did them with pecan wood and they were yummy. Next time we'll use hickory to try that out.

I thought about making a roasted red bell pepper sauce and putting that on the plate prior to adding the thighs sliced (since they were boneless, they sliced up beautifully). It would be so pretty and I'll bet that sauce would taste great with the smoked chicken and bacon.
