This Bacon Bourbon BBQ Chicken recipe came from Plain Chicken reader, Jennifer. She emailed it to me back in January and we've been making it ever since! Y'all! This chicken is SOOOO good! This recipe is unique because chicken is coated in BACON! You rub a BBQ bacon paste on all the chicken and throw it on the grill. Before you take it off the grill, brush it with an easy Bourbon BBQ Sauce.
We could not stop raving about this Bacon Bourbon BBQ Chicken. We ended up making it twice in a week. It tasted fantastic! We ate it for lunch and leftover for dinner. I even ate some of the leftovers in a wrap for lunch one day.
The chicken is coated in a BBQ Bacon paste. To make the paste you put RAW bacon and seasonings in the food processor and let it process into a paste. Spread that paste all over the chicken and then place it on the grill. You can do this ahead of time if you prefer. You can make the paste and refrigerate it or make the paste and coat the chicken and then refrigerate.
This Bacon Bourbon BBQ Chicken is probably the best BBQ chicken we've ever eaten! Add this to your menu ASAP!
