Bacon Wrapped Grilled Chicken
February 4, 2010 at 11:46 pm | Posted in BBQ, Dinner | Leave a commentTags: bacon wrapped chicken
It sounds gross to some people but it’s delicious! We just don’t recommend you eat it daily. (I even have pictures this time!)
Ingredients:
1-Chicken (drumsticks, thighs)
2-Toothpicks (soaked in water for at least 10 minutes)
3-Bacon (at least 1-2 strips per piece of chicken)
Directions:
1-Pull the skin off the chicken
2-Wrap the bacon around the chicken from one end to the other. Pierce the bacon and chicken together with toothpicks to keep the bacon from falling off the chicken while it’s being grilled
3-Heat the grill to a low heat, it should take about 20ish minutes to fully cook everything.
TA DAAAAA
That vegetable on the side is a butternut squash in case you were wondering. I will post that recipe later.
Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp Skewers

I can’t believe I forgot to put this on here. It’s like one of the staple things Shawn and I make at a BBQ and it’s so popular (I mean really, WHO doesn’t love bacon, or shrimp…or BOTH together for that matter?)
Ingredients:
1 lb headless shrimp, de-veined and peeled
1 lb bacon
1 bag of skewers (we use wood ones from the store because we’re not into owning and washing a ton of steel ones)
1 pair of kitchen scissors (not an ingredient, but a necessity)
Directions:
1-If you opt for the wooden skewers, follow their directions about soaking them so they don’t dry up and go into flames on the BBQ.
2-Take one slice of bacon and gently wrap it around an individual shrimp. Cut the bacon with scissors once the shrimp is completely wrapped.
3-Pierce bacon and shrimp with skewer, making sure that the bacon is secure and won’t unwind and slide the shrimp to a safe spot on the skewer.
4-Repeat steps 2-3 until all skewers have their bacon wrapped shrimp on them. We usually give each skewer about 3 pieces of bacon-wrapped shrimp.
5-Take to BBQ (have properly preheated already) and cook until shrimp is cooked through (bacon should also be cooked…doesn’t necessarily have to be crispy).
6-Enjoy!
Beginners Guide to Sliders
July 6, 2009 at 12:49 am | Posted in BBQ, Dinner, Lunch | Leave a commentTags: BBQ, beef
I’m not sure why the entire world does NOT know about sliders, but they should! Think mini-burgers! Think something similar to White Castle! Think “I’ll make this for my next BBQ!”
Ingredients:
(Depending on the amount of burgers you plan on making) 1-2 packages Kings Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
1-2 lbs of ground beef
Sliced American Cheese (or whatever cheese you like on your burger)
(optional…though Shawn would argue differently) Diced onions
Directions:
1-The rolls don’t come pre-cut, so cut them in half with a bread knife and set aside for later.
2-Use the ground beef to make your patties. They will be smaller than normal burger patties, but be careful not to make them too small because meat shrinks when cooked.
3-Grill them on a BBQ. You can add the cheese when they’re close to done.
4-If you opted FOR onions, cook in a pan and sauté them with oil.
5-Put the cooked patty in the roll, put onions on it if you wish, then enjoy!
