Description
These sticky bacon-wrapped chicken parcels come out juicy, smoky, and just a little messy due to the sticky sauce. The maple BBQ glaze caramelizes as it cooks, and honestly, it’s hard not to sneak one straight off the tray.
Ingredients
- 2.2 lb = 1 kg boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size chunks
- 2 cups CattleBoyz Original BBQ Sauce
- 1 tbsp cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- Thick sliced bacon (about 12 to 16 slices, depending on size)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the 2 cups of BBQ sauce, 1 tbsp cider vinegar, 1 tbsp white vinegar, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 3 tbsp minced garlic, and 2 tbsp maple syrup until well combined.
- Cut the 1 kg chicken breast into evenly sized bite-sized chunks, so they cook at the same rate. Try not to go too small, or they will dry out faster than you want.
- Add the chicken pieces to the sauce and toss until fully coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- If using the oven, preheat to 400⁰F (200⁰C).
- Lightly oil a baking dish or line it with parchment for easier cleanup.
- Take each piece of marinated chicken and wrap it with thick-sliced bacon.
- You’ll likely use about half a slice per piece, depending on size.
- Secure loosely, no need for toothpicks unless they’re unravelling.
- Place the wrapped chicken parcels in the baking dish with a bit of space between each one. Don’t crowd them or they’ll steam instead of crisp.
- Brush a little of the leftover marinade over the parcels, but don’t overdo it or the bacon won’t crisp properly.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, then switch to broil for about 5 to 10 minutes to crisp up the bacon.
- If using a BBQ, cook on the upper rack over indirect heat for 25 to 30 minutes. Turn occasionally so the bacon crisps evenly.
- Let them sit for a few minutes before serving.
