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.
