Wanted to try stuffed chicken with dark meat instead of breasts so here's how it went. Got some really nice thick skinned poblanos and roasted them in the toaster oven. Why fire up an Egg for 2 peppers?
Once roasted, I put the peppers in a bowl and covered them with plastic wrap. I let them steam for about 40 minutes. Then I peeled the skin, which came off very easy.
Then I pulled out the core and removed the seeds and sliced it into strips.
Then I flattened 6 boneless skinless thighs between plastic wrap into 1/4" thick pieces.
Rolled them up with Colby cheddar and a pepper strip, then wrapped with bacon to seal the open ends.
Then I seasoned them with some left over blackened fish rub from last night dinner, and parked them in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
Then cooked them on a raised grid indirect at 350 dome for 1.25 hours.
They didn't suck! -RP

Kim and I are trying to slim up before we hit all these fests, so we are doing the Atkins thing. Its pretty hard to get excited about food when you are dieting. -RP

Love chicken thighs and those looked fine!
-
I will have to agree those look good. I need to work on getting my bacon wrapped stuff to look like that. Wife says it is not brown/ crisp enough. Any tips!
-
They didn't suck. :woohoo: No I don't think they did. Hey why the 30 minutes in freezer?
I just fed 24 people ribs. I'm pooped.

Didn't Suck?! I guess not. Same question as CWM - why 30 min in freezer?
-
Get it up high in the dome and don't be afraid to over cook it. I'd rather have crispy bacon or no bacon at all. -RP
-
Was thinking I could get the bacon crisper while keeping more cheese inside, it didn't work. -RP
-
See above. -RP
-
THOSE LOOK GREAT. I always like to see differant things. How do you debone a thigh? Just cut to the bone and then roll bone it out with the knife?
-
I've done it lots of times, but I'm very sloppy with it. I just buy boneless skinless thighs when they have them. How did the jerk pork turn out? -RP

I updated the Jerk butt post.

Sure looks good! I'm bettin' that was some juicy chicken.

Randy,
I bet they were really good.

Looks like company food.Why fire up an Egg for 2 peppers?
~ Blacken the peppers on all sides over high direct heat. (3 to 4 minutes on each side)
~ Place the peppers in a closed brown paper bag and allow to steam for 10 minutes.
~ Cut the top and bottom off the peppers and slice one side so they will lay out flat.
~ Brush the outer skin off of the pepper and slice the flesh. -
i love wrapping thighs those look great here is one i did a while back... de-boned thighs boiled a little celery and put blue cheese in them cooked indirect at 275 and pulled them dunked them in franks wing sauce and had boneless wings all in one bite

Looks incredibly good there, AZRP. What are you going to call that dish? I'm only asking because I know people are going to want to copy it and I've noticed that "the chicken" is already taken. :silly:
Hmmmm I might try something like chicken kiev on the egg.Knoxville, TN

Hi RP,
Very nice cook, I knew it would be great when I saw the bacon in picture #4. Could you freeze the cheese first? I'm not sure if cheeze can be frozen.

What a great idea to use the bacon to seal the ends. Those look great. At first I thought that the cheese sticks were carrots and though they were going to be hard to cook and get done at the same time as the chicken. LOL
-
What a great recipe. I love this. I can't wait to try this myself. Great job.
-
Just be glad you're finally getting rain. -RP
-
I was thinking "bacon wrapped stuffed chicken thighs", what do ya think? :P -RP
-
can NEVER go wrong w/bacon..but you know that
..sounds great to me! -
Yeah, cheese freezes well, and it probably would have accomplished what I was trying to do better than what I did. Happy gator hunting pal! -RP
-
I like that idea of sealing the ends of the rolls with bacon, Randy. One of the reasons I don't do your delicious stuffed breast recipe more often is the hassel of getting the rolls to seal on the ends. I'll have to try this one out this week...it looks a lot easier to assemble.
Thanks. -
