Thick Bacon Sliced in half
3 Chicken Boneless breast cubed 3/4"- 1"
1 stick of butter
1 Cup favorite rub
1 Cup of Red Hot
1 Cup of Sweet Baby Rays
1 Cup of Bourbon whiskey.


Cube Chicken to approximately 3/4"- 1" in size.
In a Ziploc or Plastic container add the rub and cubed chicken shake to coat well.
Remove chicken from container and wrap in Bacon, toothpick together
Smoke at 240° - 250° until bacon is crispy about 2 hours.
Place a hotel pan (steamer pan) on the smoker or firebox and add Butter, When the butter has melted add the Bourbon, Sweet Baby Rays and Franks red hot. I usually heat this up on the firebox on my stickburner.
Thicken the sauce a bit then add the wrapped chicken into the pan coating liberally, continue to smoke until sauce has thickened and is sticking well to the outside.


These were a hit and were even better the following day when reheated, I think next time I make these for a party I'll make them in advance.
You can skewer these as well.


I made a batch of Bourbon Hot Wings with the above bites, just add extra red hot and cut back on the barbecue sauce..

Wow, thats looks awesome. One question, what is Red Hot. Is it just a hot sauce?

Frank's Red Hot

It's an aged vinegar-based chili sauce, smells similar to tobasco but tastes waaaaay better.

Safeway carries it out here in cali.

Trying to think of what kind of rub would work well with that :D. Can't help drooling thinking about it. Whatever it is, i think it'd need lots of sugar :)
