Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Tenders
Chicken tenders are a crowd-pleasing classic, but when you wrap them in crispy, savory bacon, they become an irresistible finger food. The key is to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cut them into long, thin strips. Wrap each strip with a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick.
For the perfect flavor, season the chicken with Butcher BBQ's Honey Rub before wrapping in bacon. Then, bake or grill the tenders until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through. Finish them off with a generous brushing of Butcher BBQ's Sweet Sauce for a delightful balance of sweet and savory.
Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp
Shrimp is another seafood favorite that pairs beautifully with bacon. Start by peeling and deveining the shrimp, then wrap each one with a slice of bacon. For an extra flavor boost, add a thin strip of smoked sausage to the mix before wrapping.
Season the shrimp with Butcher BBQ's Queen Bee Rub to complement the smoky bacon and sausage. Bake or grill the bacon-wrapped shrimp until the bacon is crispy and the shrimp are cooked through. Serve these bite-sized delights as a standalone appetizer or alongside your favorite dipping sauce.
Bacon-Wrapped Water Chestnuts
Water chestnuts offer a unique texture and flavor that pairs surprisingly well with bacon. Simply wrap each water chestnut in a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
Season the water chestnuts with Butcher BBQ's Grilling Addiction Rub before wrapping in bacon. Bake or grill the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts until the bacon is crispy. Finish them off with a drizzle of Butcher BBQ's Sweet Sauce for a sweet and savory combination that's sure to impress.
Bacon-Wrapped Little Smokies
Little Smokies are a classic bacon-wrapped finger food, and Butcher BBQ has the perfect way to elevate this crowd-pleaser. Start by wrapping each Little Smokie in a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick.
For the ultimate flavor, brush the bacon-wrapped Little Smokies with Butcher BBQ's Sweet BBQ Sauce before baking or grilling. The sweet and smoky sauce will caramelize on the bacon, creating a delightful flavor that will have your guests coming back for more.
Bacon-Wrapped Pineapple
Sweet and savory is a match made in heaven, and bacon-wrapped pineapple is the perfect example. Start by cutting fresh pineapple into bite-sized chunks, then wrap each piece in a slice of bacon.
To prevent the bacon from burning, season the pineapple with Butcher BBQ's Chicken and Waffle Rub before wrapping. Bake or grill the bacon-wrapped pineapple until the bacon is crispy and the pineapple is slightly caramelized. Finish them off with a drizzle of Butcher BBQ's Homestyle Sauce for a truly indulgent treat.
Tips for Bacon-Wrapped Finger Foods
When it comes to bacon-wrapped finger foods, there are a few tips to keep in mind:
- Use thin-cut bacon for easier crisping. The thinner the bacon, the quicker it will cook and become crispy.
- Experiment with different bacon flavors, such as pepper bacon or maple-flavored bacon, to add a unique twist to your recipes.
- For an extra layer of indulgence, try adding a small piece of string cheese to your bacon-wrapped creations.
Cooking Guidelines
When it comes to cooking these bacon-wrapped finger foods, the key is to maintain a consistent temperature and monitor the cooking time closely. For best results, bake or grill the finger foods at 400°F (200°C) until the bacon is crispy and the filling is cooked through, usually around 20-25 minutes.
Remember to flip or rotate the finger foods halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crisping of the bacon.
