Ingredients

6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 tablepoon all-purpose barbecue rub
6 jalapeño peppers quartered and seeded if desired
6 rashers bacon
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons honey to glaze

Equipment

6 toothpicks
grill

Directions

Season the chicken thighs with the all-purpose rub.
Wrap one chicken thigh around one jalapeño pepper. Repeat with remaining chicken and peppers.
Tightly wrap the chicken thighs with a strip of bacon, using a toothpick to hold it in place. Lightly season the bacon with salt and pepper.
Grill over medium-high heat until the internal temperature of the chicken is 170 degrees F (75 degrees C) and the bacon is nicely browned.
Brush with honey to glaze and leave on grill for a few minutes. When the glaze is tacky, remove the chicken from the grill and serve.
