Barbecue Journey with Dan ‘The Man’ — Bacon Wrapped Chicken Wings

Sometimes you just don't have a ton of time. Sometimes it's easiest to just throw something on the grill and move on. This post is a lot like that, too.

To call "Bacon Wrapped Chicken Wings" a recipe is using the term loosely. Here's a chicken wing, here's a piece of bacon. Wrap bacon around chicken wing. Grill and enjoy.

That's about the extent of the instructions in the book "Ribs, Chops, Steaks & Wings" by Dr. BBQ, from which I am cooking great meals every week. This week's was no different, however easy.

I adjusted the recipe, which didn't call for a rub on the chicken wing before wrapping it in bacon, and added some spices. It turned out to be quite nice. The sugar in the rub caramelized during the hour-long cooking process and gave the wings a sort of glaze. It was a sticky, gooey, wonderful mess.

I'd rate this chicken wings above average. 7 out of 10.
