Ingredients
-
Chicken breasts (approx. 1 lb. per 4–6 servings)
- Worcestershire sauce
- Bacon (approx. 1 slice per bite; ~8 slices per 1 lb. chicken)
- Skewers
- Sliced Pickles and/or Jalapeños
-
Platoon Sergeant (SPG) Seasoning
-
Claymore Cajun Seasoning
-
Willie Pete Chicken Seasoning
-
Original Style BBQ Sauce
Directions
Marinate the chicken in a small amount of Worcestershire sauce overnight.
- Dust the chicken pieces with your seasonings of choice. We used Willie Pete on one batch and Claymore Cajun on the other. Be sure all sides are well coated.
- Place a pickle or jalapeño slice on top of each chicken chunk. Wrap with a slice of bacon.
- Skewer each wrapped bite through the center. Repeat until all chicken pieces are wrapped and skewered. (Each standard skewer fits about 4–6 bites.)
- Lightly dust the bites again with Willie Pete Seasoning and Claymore Cajun Seasoning
- Place the skewers on a preheated smoker or grill. Cook until the internal temperature reaches about 180°F. (Minimum safe temp: 165°F. We prefer 180°F for better bacon color and texture.)
- Lightly glaze each bite with BBQ sauce.
- Let the bites rest to allow the glaze to tack up. Enjoy the perfect smoky, savory bite!

Recipe Note
For more heat, go with Crispy’s Mango Habanero instead of Claymore Cajun Seasoning, and swap out the Original Style BBQ Sauce with Hellfire Honey BBQ Sauce!
