In today’s video, I’m showing you my recipe for smoked chicken bombs, and these are amazing! If you’ve never had a smoked chicken bomb, let me break it down for you. It’s basically a jalapeno popper, wrapped in a chicken thigh, and then wrapped in bacon. The prep is a little labor intensive, but these can be made ahead of time, and then smoked the next day. These are a perfect BBQ snack or appetizer, and they’re also going to be perfect for Football Sundays this fall! This were incredibly simple to cook, and for this cook I utilized my Lone Star Grillz Pellet Grill, which is one of my favorite smokers to cook on! For the seasoning I went with my Ash Kickin’ BBQ Honey Chipotle which paired extremely well with the sweet heat of these smoked chicken bombs! If there’s one recipe you make on the grill, smoker, pellet grill, or pellet smoker this summer, it has to be smoked chicken bombs!

Full Recipe:

| Ingredients |

-6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
-Ash Kickin’ BBQ Honey Chipotle
-6 jalapenos
-A pack of thin cut bacon
– Raspberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce
-1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
-1 block of cream cheese

| Instructions |

Prep:

1. Cut the stems off of the jalapenos per the instructions in the video, and then make a slit down the side of the jalapeno. Dig out all the seeds and veins with a spoon.

2. Combine the cheddar cheese and cream cheese into a bowl, season with about a 1/4 cup of Ash Kickin’ BBQ Honey Chipotle Rub, and mix together so everything is incorperated.

3. Stuff your peppers per the videos instructions.

4. Put your chicken thighs in a plastic bag, and pound them out so they’re flat and even.

5. Season both sides of your chicken thighs with Ash Kickin’ BBQ Honey Chipotle.

6. Wrap the chicken thighs around the stuffed jalapenos per the videos instructions.

7. Wrap the chicken bombs with bacon per the videos instructions.

8. Apply a light layer of rub on the bacon once wrapped, and before smoking.

| Cooking |

1. Set your smoker for 300°F

2. Put your smoked chicken bombs on the smoker, and allow them to cook for 1 hour.

3. After one hour, check the temperature of the smoked chicken bombs, they likely will not be done, and at this point keep cooking them, or move them to a hotter zone on your smoker to cook for another 30-45 minutes.

4. After another 30-45 minutes, check the temperature on the chicken bombs, thighs can handle a higher internal temperature due to the fat in the dark meat. The main thing you want is the bacon to be cooked thoroughly.

5. Once the bacon is cooked, and your thighs are 175° F or higher, brush with the raspberry chipotle BBQ sauce, and allow the sauce to set for 5 minutes.

6. After 5 minutes, remove the smoked chicken bombs from the smoker, and allow them to rest for 15-20 minutes.

7. After the smoked chicken bombs have rested for 15-20 minutes, slice, eat, and enjoy!
