So tasty they were gobbled up before a post-grill pic!
I don't know what's happening where you are, but here we've had clouds, rain, cold, earthquakes (no seriously, earthquakes). It's July 11th!! Where's the sunshine to wake me up in the morning and stay out shining until 8:30 at night? Where's the hot weather that calls for short shorts and cute little summer dresses? What's going on, I have zero tan lines?!! But don't let this weather hold you down Cheekees...I say light up those grills, put on your bikinis and swim trunks, heck...even put on your sunglasses!! Cause we're having a BBQ...
Spicy Chicken and Bacon Poppers
You can thank Mark's Daily Apple for this delicious mouth party.
1 large chicken breast
6 pickled pepperoncinis
3 strips of bacon
(This will make 6 poppers. Increase quantity accordingly.)
Cut chicken breast into 1″ cubes. Put the chicken in a large bowl and coat with olive oil, salt and pepper. Slice off the top of a pepperoncini and slice down the side. Put a piece of chicken inside.
Cut bacon strips in half. Wrap 1/2 of a piece of bacon around the pepperoncini-ed chicken. Spear about four poppers on a skewer. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water first to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Over medium heat, grill the poppers until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crisp, about 8-10 minutes a side.
And if you’re so inclined….it's so bad, but tastes so so good to dip 'dem poppers in! I did.
