got um done an came out GREAT!!!












will make a coule changes next time such as slightly bigger pieces an will add some brown sugar to brine as the bacon threw the salt factor up some...
so will compensate...

thanks for lookin...

Looks great. Got to love bacon. And a little rain, no problem. Helps with the clean up.

Cooking in crappy weather just makes the food taste better.

thanks,,,
if I were doing it again I would cut the pieces slightly bigger and sugar the brine some
as the bacon adds lots of salt to the flavor profile...
gotta love the Mad Hunky brine,,, it bullet proofs chicken...
and note to those who dont know,,,
both chicken and bacon take smoke very readily
so if you dont like strong smoke one needs to perhaps tent the cook after a time...
although I never have...

Man those look Awesome!! Now I'm hungry

You should try the Oak Ridge BBQ Game Changer Brine and kick your chicken up even further, and also check out their Death Dust too. Their brine has no phosphates or other chemicals and is all natural. Awesome stuff. Many more options out their to try and take your chicken to a place it has never been before.

Ideas for Football kick off snacks thanks!!!!!!!!

thanks icestud
an Poppa S,,,
give um a try an enjoy...


Yoder_Herb,,,
I've never tried the Oak Ridge BBQ Game Changer Brine or Death Dust but will make a point to
obtain some,,, thanks
you ever tried Mad Hunky brine or General Purpose rub or his other products???

Yes I have.

Oakridge Game Changer and Habanero Death Dust are amazing. The absolute best wings I make are with HDD and Game Changer does wonderful stuff. Any Oakridge product is good stuff.

I gave nearly two pounds of MH Hot Whang to a friend because it just sat in my cabinet for over a year and clumped up because I was using HDD instead.

Love the bacon wrapped chicken bites. Sometimes we slip a piece of jalapeno in there too.

Re, OakRidge, those are really solid endorsements! I know a lot of folks who swear by MH products, so I'm heading directly to OakRidge's site now to buy some of their stuff! How's the Dominator on ribs? Anyone tried it? I like Dizzy Dust for ribs myself but haven't experimented too far from that. I love hot stuff--hotter the better--but my family doesn't always like it like I do so, particularly for the ribs, I need a rub that isn't too jacked up.

I love dominator on ribs and it's done well in competition too. Good flavor and amazing color.
