Delicious Chicken Bombs: A Perfect Combination of Juicy Chicken, Creamy Cheese, and Smoky Bacon

🔥Chicken Bombs are a popular BBQ dish made by stuffing jalapenos with cream cheese and cheddar cheese, wrapping them in chicken thigh, and then bacon.

🌶️The jalapenos add a mild heat and crunch to the dish, while the cream cheese and cheddar cheese bring a creamy and tangy flavor.

🥓The bacon not only adds a smoky flavor but also keeps the chicken and cheese filling moist during the cooking process.

🔥Smoking the Chicken Bombs at a low and slow temperature infuses them with a delicious smoky flavor and ensures that the chicken is juicy and tender.

🍖The Chicken Bombs are finished with a glaze of sweet and spicy sauce, adding another layer of flavor and creating a caramelized crust.

What is the best cheese to use for stuffing the jalapenos?

—Cream cheese and cheddar cheese are commonly used for stuffing the jalapenos as they provide a creamy and tangy flavor that complements the smoky bacon and juicy chicken.

Can I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs?

—While chicken thighs are preferred for their juiciness and ability to handle higher cooking temperatures, you can use chicken breasts if you prefer. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly to prevent the chicken breasts from drying out.

What type of wood chips should I use for smoking?

—Hickory wood chips are a popular choice for smoking chicken as they impart a strong and smoky flavor. However, you can also use other hardwood chips like mesquite or applewood, depending on your personal preference.

How do I prevent the bacon from unraveling while cooking?

—To prevent the bacon from unraveling, you can secure it with toothpicks or use Grill pins, which are safe for high temperatures and do a better job of securing the bacon.

Can I make Chicken Bombs ahead of time?

—Yes, you can prepare the Chicken Bombs ahead of time, up until the point of wrapping them in bacon. Store them in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook. Just make sure to remove them from the fridge and let them come to room temperature before smoking.
