Bacon Cheese Chicken

Bacon-Cheese Chicken from the Grill – with Rock’n’Rubs “Tequila Sunrise”, bacon wrap & sweet chili maple glaze (72 °C)

Ingredients

  • 8 chicken tenderloins or large strips cut from chicken breast
  • 8 slices of bacon
  • 4 slices of cheese, e.g. cheddar
  • 2 tbsp Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • a little olive oil
  • "Tequila Sunrise" by Rock'n'Rubs

Preparation

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Prep

    Gently flatten the chicken breast tenders (or strips of equal size).
    Mix "Tequila Sunrise" with a bit of olive oil to create a thin marinade and lightly coat the meat.

  2. 2

    Wrap

    Place one slice of bacon on the board, top with one piece of chicken and half a slice of cheese. Roll up tightly.

    Repeat the process and secure two rolls per skewer (or use toothpicks to hold them together).

  3. 3

    Prepare the grill/oven

    Set up an indirect heat zone at 160–200°C (with the lid closed).

    Alternatives:
    - Oven: 180°C top and bottom heat, on a rack over a drip tray.
    - Air fryer: 180°C, in a single layer.

  4. 4

    Cook (indirect heat)

    Place the rolls over indirect heat and cook until they reach an internal temperature of about 72°C (usually 18–25 minutes, depending on size and temperature).

  5. 5

    Mix the glaze

    Mix sweet chili sauce with maple syrup (optional: add a splash of tequila).

  6. 6

    Finish & Color

    In the last 3–5 minutes, generously glaze and let caramelize with the lid closed. For a bit of crust, finish by briefly kissing it over high direct heat at the end (be careful: sugar burns quickly).

  7. 7

    Rest & Serve

    Let the rolls rest for 2–3 minutes, remove them from the skewers, season lightly if needed, and serve hot – for example, with coleslaw, corn on the cob, or grilled vegetables.

TIPS

  1. - Use a thermometer: Poultry is safe and stays juicy at ≥ 72 °C.
    - Cheese that melts well (cheddar, gouda, jack) helps prevent leaking.
    - Wrap bacon with a slight overlap; place the seam side down when cooking to keep everything together.
