The perfect marriage of smoky and sweet flavors is what you'll get when you use the outdoor grill to cook up these chicken tenders! I like to use center-cut bacon since it is leaner and less likely to cause flare-ups. I find cutting the bacon lengthwise, and then using the thin strips to wrap the bacon, is much easier than trying to wrap using a wide strip. Use your favorite BBQ rub on the chicken!
Ingredients
- 8 chickens tenders
- 1 tablespoon BBQ rub , such as McCormick®
- 8 slices center-cut bacon , cut in half lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon water
Instructions
-
1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
-
2
Season chicken tenders with BBQ rub. Wrap each tender with 2 thin strips of bacon, tucking in the ends to secure.
-
3
Mix together honey and water in a small bowl. Set aside.
-
4
Place chicken tenders on the preheated grill and reduce heat to medium-low. Close lid and grill tenders, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until bacon is browned and chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (73 degrees C), 12 to 14 minutes. For crispier bacon, increase heat during the last 2 minutes of cooking.

Move tenders to indirect heat and brush with honey mixture. Transfer to a plate and serve.

Kid-Pleasing Sloppy Joes
This is one of my kids' favorite recipes! I could make this five times in a row and they'd never get tired of it. It's easy to make and a real quick, hot meal for those busy nights. I will add cheese on top of these kid-friendly Sloppy Joes or warm the rolls in the oven. I occasionally add mild banana peppers on top for my husband since he is a fan of spicy things.
Halloween Eye of Newt
Bubble, bubble. Toil and trouble. This appetizer is commonly known and used but, I have put my own little twist on this recipe. It is deviled eggs made to look like the eyeballs of a lizard. It a hit with the kids at my Halloween party.
Bulk Venison Breakfast Sausage
This venison sausage recipe is something we make every year as my husband is an avid hunter. We add pork to the venison because the venison has such a low fat content. For the pork, we get really fatty-looking roast ground at our grocery store.
