Chicken Bombs (pictures)

...when chicken and ABTs collide!

Thanks to @nashbama for the inspiration... these were a huge hit last night.



I stuffed the jalapeños with a mixture of goat cheese and jack cheese:




Wrapped it all up with bacon:



Slathered them with Sticky Fingers Carolina Classic.



And cooked raised direct for 45 minutes at about 350F.



They rocked!



More info HERE.

Thanks, @nashbama!

Wow! Enough said.

Looks great.... How'd I know you would use goat cheese in there?

caliking

Those look fantastic! I would love those even more if the japs had a lot of zing.

I know... it's an addiction. 8-}

Excellent shots, those look amazing!

Looks awesome. Is "raised direct" when the grid is at gasket level but without the platesetter? Is there an easy way to do that without buying an additional accessory?

pflug - I use two fire bricks to raise mine:

Thanks, @MrCookingNurse! Either will work, but I used thighs.

HDumptyEsq

Did you use flattened breasts or boneless thighs? Thighs would probably stay moister or does the bacon do that with breasts? They look delicious, by the way.

I just got a medium for Christmas with lots of eggsesories to go with my smoker and Charbroil Infrared. These two have been redundant since!! Done all sorts from pizzas to pork shoulder. Love it.

Dark meat!!!!

Travis isn't coming either, Kristi.  He and Mickey only go to the Salado Eggfest.  But, I'll be there.  I made a special point to be there since you were coming.

Maybe, you can help Pam and I cook our Kalbi and Tequila Shrimp.

Awesome, love the use of goat cheese. My wife is dairy free so we use it all the time.

Thank you, VI!  You're a real friend. )  
We are really looking forward to meeting you and Pam (& eating your food!). 

HDumptyEsq -- I used thighs, but butterflied breasts would work, too.

@Kristi - any advice on substitute for goat cheese?  I love it - but the Queen is not a fan - too tangy?  But I love the consistency and want to use it.  I know you cook with it all the time, would love any recommendations.  Thanks!

SmokeyPitt

Beautiful!  I think they need mashed potatoes tho!

I think next time I do stuffed chicken I might have to try raised direct.  The bacon looks soooo nice and crispy  

:@)

I feel totally left out!  [-(

Hey Kristi, can I borrow your fire brick set up picture for a blog post that I'm working on?  I want to show an alternative to the double fire ring set up I used.  Thanks!!!!

Austin Egghead

Kristi, I hope to meet you on saturday.

milesbrown4 -- softened cream cheese works really well. It doesn't have much pizazz (imo) but you can jazz it up with shredded cheese and various seasonings.  Sometimes I mix goat cheese & cream cheese in my poppers.

NibbleMeThis -- definitely!  There are a couple in this Flickr set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/necessaryindulg/sets/72157627911604435/

Austin Egghead -- see you Saturday!

travisstrick -- How far are you from Austin?  and why aren't you going to the Fest?

Mickey -- I'm still sad. :(  I completely understand, but we will miss the opportunity to meet you this weekend.

travisstrick

I'm 45 min from Austin but I'll be at a BBQ competition at lake Buchanan. :ar!

tazcrash

Kristi, I know these do have some labor behind them, but I hope these are made for Saturday.

tazcrash:  I'm not cooking Saturday -- I'm going to eat, drink, meet, and take pictures! Look forward to meeting you!
