Bacon wrapped chicken meatballs

Bacon, lets just start with that!

I am a huge fan of heavy appetizers and when you add bacon to meatballs you cant go wrong!

Lets take a closer look at this recipe that can be a meal by adding a salad or just a party treat!

Ingredients

• 1 pound of ground chicken
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• 1 lb of thick cut bacon (cut in half)
• 4-5 tablespoons of Caribeque Honey Heat Rub
• 1 teaspoon of salt (optional)
• Skewers

Directions

• Preheat grill /oven to 350 degrees F
• Mix ground chicken, eggs, parmesan cheese, Caribeque Honey Heat, salt, in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.
• Form ground chicken mix into 2-inch meatballs.
• Wrap half a bacon slice around a meatball; turn the meatball around 45 degrees and wrap a second half-slice of bacon around the meatball so the meat is enclosed by bacon.
• ( I skewer them to move them around on the grill. )
•  Repeat, forming  meatballs and wrapping each one in 2 half-slices of bacon.
• Sprinkle more Caribeque honey heat on top before grilling
• ( If baking )Place wrapped meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet with seam sides down.
• Grill / Bake until meatballs are no longer pink inside and bacon is crisp, about 45 minutes.
•  An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read at least 160 degrees F
• Serve alone or with a salad and enjoy!
