Bacon Wrapped Chicken Myron Mixon Smoker

Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breast Stuffed With Italian Sausage

As my previous posts indicated I put my Myron Mixon MMS-48 smoker to the test. I debated a long time before going with a "box smoker" when I have always used open pits, barrel smokers or drums. I've had a great time smoking all kinds of things on regular old charcoal pits and this is what I've made a living doing.  Well, I tested the Myron Mixon onto 7 meals in two weeks and a wide range of dishes. I have to say, I'm totally pleased.

Using dry rubs is key. See my dry rub guide.

I modified Myron's bacon wrapped smoked sausage recipe from his book "Smokin' With Myron" with my favorite Italian Sausage, and wow, I was impressed.  I went to the butcher in town to get some fresh bacon, not the store bought in packs. Country bacon from the butcher is larger, wider, and thicker. 

I have also made this same recipe on my Weber Kettle, and well, the chicken (even if wrapped) on most of pits would  come out dry. Here, it was just melting in your mouth with moisture thanks to the technology of the H20 Smoking Technology on the MMS-48 smoker. The recipe is easy, prep time is fast,  and as you can see I made sure to use a little of my got beef ? ® dry rub.

I tried three at a time, they were pretty large chicken breasts and large butcher bacon.

Well they came out moist and delicious on the first try.  Even the sausage had a smoke ring to it which surprised me, since it was tucked inside. Eating one of these bad boys will fill you up. And you get the best of pork and chicken in your mouth all at once. What's not to love? 

Can you say yummo?

Grilling With Liam Bacon Wrapped Chicken Part 2

Liam Sean O'Sullivan uses an electric smoker but his recipes can be used on any smoker.

It's been awhile since we featured Part One of Liam's Grilling Tips, featuring his scrumptious pork that used an Electric Meat Smoker .  Liam Sean O'Sullivan smokes it up in Central Illinois. His recipes are out of this world and not to mention healthy! We can apply his recipes to any regular grill smoker!

Liam's Bacon Wrapped Chicken is Delicious and Nutritious!

Liam's top secret recipes looks more complicated than it is.  He uses chicken breasts and if you look closely adds a bit of seasoning (which includes red pepper).  A bit of dry rub wouldn't hurt either!  Liam wraps them lovingly with farm raised bacon (you can go up to 3 slices thick), and garnishes the toothpicks with sweet peppers. 

Total cooking time he says is about 2.5 hours, and slathering with your favorite BBQ Sauce before, during or after is optional.  Make sure to read about Liam's other meals under Part One here if you haven't already.

Eat Healthy!

Poultry is a healthy alternative when grilling.  Here is a great book on Slow Cooker Chicken Recipes. We also recommend eating lots of fruits and vegetables throughout your day to balance those big meaty meals you have too.   The web is full of healthy recipes and low fat alternatives, for something totally different yet super yummy go to healthy food recipes.  We made a very scrumptious Thai Mango Salad.
