BBQ Rub Bacon Wrapped Chicken

Dredge Chicken in Rub mixture.

Wrap each piece of chicken with Bacon Slices

Pour 2 tbsp olive oil into bottom of baking dish to coat

(line baking dish with aluminum foil if you’d like as clean up is kind of messy)

I actually used my Cast iron skillet for this so sticking wouldn't be an issue.

Place chicken in baking dish and Bake for 50-60 minutes

Half-way through, remove pan from oven and drain "juices" from the pan, and then place the chicken back in the oven for remainder of cooking time.

I served this with Buttered Egg Noodle and a Spinach / Seedless Grape Salad.

Hawaiian Turkey Burger

This Really Flavorful Burger you can be a make ahead and just throw on the Grill when you're ready! I serve it with Sweet Potato Fries made in the oven, so I could have hands available for other things like homework, housework or even just pouring a glass of wine. ;)
