Sweet and smokey, this bacon wrapped smoked chicken recipe is perfect for a bbq competition. As you can see, I’m working towards next years Silicon Valley BBQ Competition since my chicken needed a bit of work.

Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Combine all ingredients (except bacon) together in a zip log bag and marinade overnight. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Preheat the smoker to 325 degrees. | |
| Step 3 | |
| While the smoker is preheating, remove chicken from marinade and let drip dry to remove excess liquid. Wrap each piece of chicken with 1/2 to 1 slice of bacon. Smoke wrapped chicken for 30 minutes to 1 hour or until chicken reaches 165 degrees. Time depends on size of chicken pieces. | |
Now that I know I can use my Traeger, I’m having fun creating new chicken recipes. This is by far my favorite. Will this be the one I use? You try it and let me know if I should.
