Chicken From Hell
Recipe shared by: Karen Cody
1 Large boneless -- skinless, individual chicken breast, pounded thin
and sliced in 12 sections
1 Tablespoon oily preferably canola or corn
2 Tablespoons Wild Willy's Number One-derful Rub -- Southwest Heat, or other savory seasoning blend
12 Large fresh jalapenos or yellow guero chiles
1/2 Medium onion -- in slivers
6 Slices bacon -- halved
*OPTIONAL*
Boydesque Brew or other barbecue sauce
(optional)
Makes 1 dozen
About 1 1/2 hours before you plan to barbecue,
toss the chicken with the oil in a small bowl.
Sprinkle dry rub over it and stir to coat. Refrigerate, cov-
ered, for 1 hour.
Prepare the smoker for barbecuing, bringing the tem-
perature to 200 F to 220 F.
Split the jalapenos along one side and seed them. Stuff
a section of chicken breast and a sliver or two of onion in
each, wrap with a half piece of bacon, and secure the tid-
bit with a toothpick.
Place the chicken in the smoker and cook for 30 to 40
minutes, until the bacon is crisp.
These are extremely hot when served with the jala-
peno still in place, so proceed cautiously. Tender-mouths
may find the chicken plenty potent eaten alone or per-
haps with a barbecue sauce, such as Boydesque Brew.
variation: The preparation works with game birds, too. Substitute dove or
quail breast for chicken, if you wish.
