Candied Bacon Chica Licka Bites

Directions

1. Build a medium-high charcoal fire and prepare your grill for two-zone cooking. Place a disposable aluminum container holding an inch of water on the side of the grill with no coal.

2. Slice the chicken thighs into bite-size portions and transfer to a mixing bowl. Season with 1 tablespoon Chica Licka Bam Bam and toss to combine.

3. Combine the brown sugar and turbinado sugar in a bowl.

4. Wrap each piece of chicken with ½ strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Dip the bundle in the brown sugar mixture, and then place it on a wire cooling rack (this will make it easier to place the chicken on the grill). Repeat with remaining chicken.

5. When the coals are glowing red, add a chunk of hardwood (hickory or oak are good choices) to the periphery of the fire. When the fire releases a steady stream of smoke, cook the chicken over indirect heat for 35-40 minutes, or until the bacon is deeply browned and sticky.

6. Remove from heat, allow the chicken to cool for 5 minutes, and then transfer to a platter and season with a light dusting of Chica Licka Bam Bam.
