BACON BBQ CHICKEN LOAF RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Cut each chicken breast in half crosswise, then cut the larger half again horizontally, creating 3 cutlets. Transfer to a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, chili powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
• Pour the spice mix over the chicken cutlets and toss to coat completely in the seasoning. Set the chicken aside.
• Arrange the bacon slices in a 9x5-inch (23x13-cm) loaf pan, making sure the bottom and sides are fully covered, and that the strips hang over the sides.
• Layer in 4 seasoned chicken cutlets, 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce, 5 slices of cheddar cheese, 4 more chicken cutlets, another 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce, the green pepper, onion, 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce, the red pepper, 5 remaining cheese slices, and the remaining chicken. Then, wrap the overhanging strips of bacon over the top of the loaf.
• Cover the loaf with foil and bake for 1 hour. Then remove the foil, drain any excess fat, and bake for another 30 minutes uncovered, making sure the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is brown and crispy.
• Remove the bacon loaf from the oven and turn on the broiler. Invert the loaf onto a wire rack set atop a baking sheet and baste the loaf with the remaining barbecue sauce.
• Broil for 5 minutes, until the glaze dries slightly.
• Slice and serve with rolls or other barbecue party food.
• Enjoy!

BBQ CHICKEN BACON SKEWERS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium heat.
• Combine the chicken, bbq sauce, salt, and pepper, stirring until evenly mixed.
• Threading one end of the bacon onto the end of a skewer. Add a piece of chicken, and weave the bacon around the chicken and back through the skewer, creating a wave pattern between the chicken. Move the bacon and the chicken down the skewer, repeating until the other edge of the bacon is threaded through.
• Repeat on the rest of the skewers with the remaining chicken and bacon.
• Grease the surface of the grill by rubbing the grates with tongs and an oiled paper towel.
• Grill the skewers for about 12-18 minutes with the lid closed, flipping them halfway.

BBQ-BACON MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Place bacon slices in the freezer until firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
• Combine ground beef, milk, oats, Colby-Jack cheese, onion, 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, eggs, garlic pepper, and salt in a mixing bowl.
• Remove bacon from the freezer and dice; add to the beef mixture. Mix all ingredients together thoroughly; I like to use a potato masher. Transfer into the prepared baking dish and form the top into a loaf. Evenly cover the top of the loaf with remaining barbecue sauce.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 1 hour 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
