How to Grill Chicken on the Grill
We grill on charcoal. I highly suggest using a Charcoal Chimney Starter instead of lighter fluid when grilling on charcoal. It makes a HUGE difference in the flavor of the food! Here is a tutorial with video on how to use a charcoal starter:When grilling this Grilled Bacon Wrapped BBQ Chicken you are going to want to rotate the chicken tenders often to avoid burning. As the bacon cooks, the grease will cause some flare-ups. Once the bacon has cooked down, there won't be any flare-ups. Brush the chicken with your favorite BBQ sauce during the last 2 or 3 minutes of cooking. It took about 10 minutes for the chicken to reach an internal temperature of 165ºF.

You can still make this Grilled Bacon Wrapped BBQ Chicken if you don't have a grill. Prepare the chicken as directed and then bake on a rimmed baking sheet with foil and top with a cooking rack at 375ºF for about 20 minutes. Brush with BBQ sauce on both sides during the last few minutes.
