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.

Beef and Pork Guiso
My girlfriend's mom, Mama, makes this incredible guiso (stew) once a year and often includes it in a more intricate recipe, which doesn't allow us to appreciate the value of the guiso as is. It is good by itself, with rice or pasta, or with chips. I love it because it's awesome, incredible, and delicious.
Creamy Shrimp Pasta Primavera
This creamy shrimp pasta primavera is a family favorite we created together. This recipe is incredibly versatile — swap out veggies, adjust the measurements, and make it your own.
Lamb Chops with Balsamic Reduction
This balsamic-sauced lamb chop recipe is a favorite in my house. Rosemary and thyme give it great flavor. It serves four people, but if you like two chops each as we do, you'll want to double the recipe. And if you do, just remember that the sauce will take longer to reduce.
