Traeger Smoked Bacon Wrapped Chicken Thighs
My Traeger Smoker has been working overtime this summer. These Smoked Bacon Wrapped Cheese Stuffed Chicken Thighs are going to be on your grill the rest of the year!!!! Boneless chicken thighs are so juicy and tender - then add a little smokiness and you're golden!
Equipment
- toothpicks
Ingredients
- 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 4-6 oz colby jack cheese cut into strips
- 6 slices bacon
- 2 tbsp Historic BBQ Red Poultry Rub (or any bbq spice rub)
- 1/4 cup Williamson Bros. BBQ sauce (or your fav bbq sauce)
Instructions
- preheat Traeger to 225
- slice cojack cheese into long strips
- place inside flat chicken thigh
- fold chicken thigh over
- wrap a slice of bacon around the chicken thigh - using the bacon to cover the open end so the cheese doesn't ooze out and hold in place with toothpick
- sprinkle with bbq seasoning
- when Traeger comes to temp at 225 - place chicken on grill
- Smoke for 1 hour
- Brush with BBQ sauce and smoke for another hour
- Check temp and take off when chicken is between 160-165 degrees
- Let rest until up to 165 and serve!
