Bacon-Wrapped Smoky Bone-In Chicken Thighs

I wanted to do something different this time with chicken thighs, so I found a recipe here. I
followed the recipe fairy close except I substituted granulated onion for the onion powder, white
pepper for the black pepper and added granulated garlic to the spice mix. But first, I removed
the skin, trimmed off the excess fat and then brined them for about 5 hours in Mad Hunky Chicken
brine. (For those who don’t know me I always try to brine chicken and pork before putting them on the grill.)
The thighs were dried off, seasoned with the smoky rub and then wrapped in 2 slices of thick bacon each.
The bacon was then seasoned with the rub. The recipe also calls for putting them in the oven,
but with me that ain’t gonna happen, not as long as I have charcoal. :D

Delicious and filling dinner. This was a great combination of the spicy smoky rub and the Sweet 180.
If you like sweet heat give this one a shot.

Thanks for looking!
 
Please tell me you grilled the skin separately for a crispy treat and didn't throw it in the garbage...

Can't tell you that Brad... I was going to keep the skin, but decided against it this time for no real reason. The bacon definitely made
a good replacement for the skin.
 
bacon, skin.
skin, bacon.
bacon, sk..... ohhWhatever!
LOOKS AWESOME MIKE!
