Ingredients

Instructions

  • Fire up the grill! Preheat your grill for two-zone or indirect cooking at 400 degrees F.
  • Season the chicken breast. Season the whole chicken breasts on all sides with my Signature Sweet Rub (recipe link in notes section).
  • Wrap in bacon! Wrap each chicken breast in 3 pieces of bacon, overlapping each piece to secure. You can also use toothpicks to secure the bacon to ensure it doesn't come unwrapped on the grill.
  • Grill the chicken over indirect heat. Place chicken directly on the grill grates over indirect heat. Close lid and cook for 20-25 minutes. Rotate them every 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Crisp the bacon. Move the chicken breasts to the direct heat side of the grill and sear for 1-2 minutes per side, moving the chicken as needed to prevent flare-ups. Optional: baste the chicken with BBQ sauce before this step.
  • Remove, rest, and serve. Remove the chicken from the grill once it reaches 160 degrees F internal temperature in the thickest part of the breast. Allow the chicken to rest uncovered for 8-10 minutes before serving.
