Ingredients
  • 4 chicken thighs (deboned) or breast, skin on or off
  • 8 slices thick cut bacon

  • Marinade Mix:

  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 6 tsp. Hickory Liquid Smoke
  • 1 Tbsp. Season-All
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ¾ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Chicago Steak Seasoning
  • ½ tsp Spicy Montreal Steak Seasoning, optional for spiciness

  • Stuffing Mixture:

  • 4 oz. Cream Cheese
  • ½ tsp Season-All
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • 2 Tbsp. bacon bits
Instructions
  1. If grilling, prepare grill. If using the oven, preheat to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for the marinade mix.
  3. Stir until well combined.
  4. Place chicken pieces into the mixture. Stir to make sure it is well combined.
  5. Allow to marinate in mixture for one hour.
  6. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine all ingredients for stuffing mixture and mix until smooth and creamy.
  7. Remove chicken from marinade and allow the excess marinade to drain off.
  8. Spread the chicken open to lay flat and spoon 2-3 tablespoons of stuffing mixture onto each piece. Do not overfill - it will run out if you do!
  9. Carefully roll chicken from one end to the other and secure with toothpicks. Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each piece of chicken, pressing down onto toothpicks.
  10. Sprinkle with your favorite rub.
  11. Place chicken on grill to cook, or if using the oven method, place in a 350 degree oven and bake 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Remove from oven and place in broiler for 2-3 minutes to brown and crisp bacon.
  12. Serve with your favorite side dish and maybe a salad.
  13. Enjoy!
