Bacon-Wrapped Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs

[hikerman]

The girls took us out to brunch today,  the food was excellent and was topped off with several bloody marias! After the great meal, we moved the gathering to our home. By four o'clock it was just the two of us and Bella. Time to grill!
Last night I made a brine of Tony Chachere's Original and brown sugar. Into that late night invention i added six boneless skinless chicken thighs. This morning they got dried, and EVOO'ed up, and dusted with Big Dick's Margarita Rub. The tequila-lime profile would pair nicely with the brine. Before we left for brunch, I wrapped the thighs with bacon, three got some smoked colby-jack, and gave them a heavy dusting of Margarita rub and a bit of chipotle powder and then refrigerated until grill time.
The D.Boone was loaded with maple-hickory-cherry and warmed up to 225F. I also threw a couple Grill Grates on to heat up. The thighs went on and about 2 hours later on went some sweet corn. Upped the temp to 350F to finish all. The corn got a mayo-lime juice-chipotle powder sauce and crumbled Cotija cheese, served with potato salad. Very good! The chicken was fabulous and definitely a redo!

Happy Father's Day Dads!

Looks great!  I never thought to add cheese to the thighs.

I made something similar, just in the smoker and , I agree, they come out pretty good - no matter the technique!

Hehe, after I wrapped three I wondered why I had not put cheese inside those! Duh! Oh well...all good!

Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs are noted as a tasteless diet food but you took the diet out and added much taste.
Nicely done.

Looking great Gene!

Anything covered in bacon is so much better.
