What’s Cooking?
Derek’s recipe is perfect for serving four hungry grill enthusiasts. With just a bit of prep time and a few key ingredients, you’ll be on your way to impressing family and friends with these flavorful skewers. The combination of juicy chicken thighs wrapped in bacon and topped with that irresistible garlic butter is simply divine!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 4 lbs skinless & boneless chicken thighs
- 1 lb bacon, sliced
- 1 cup Cowboy Butter Rub (Derek’s special blend)
- For the garlic Parmesan butter:
- 1.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
- 1.5 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 tbsp red chili flakes
- 1 tbsp hot sauce
Step-by-Step Guide
It all starts with pounding those chicken thighs until they’re just about ⅛” thick—this ensures they’re perfect for wrapping with crispy bacon. Derek creates a base layer of chicken that’s roughly 2.5 feet long, layering on the bacon for added flavor before topping it off with more chicken. He wraps it in foil and lets it chill in the freezer for at least an hour (or longer, if you can wait!).
Once it’s time to cook, Derek preheats the fire to a medium heat of about 325ºF. After slicing the meat into 2×2” cubes, he threads them onto skewers and seasons them generously with the Cowboy Butter Rub. What makes this dish sing is his homemade garlic Parmesan butter, which you can whip up quickly by combining melted butter with minced garlic, Parmesan, parsley, chili flakes, and hot sauce. A quick shake in a mason jar does the trick!
Grilling to Perfection
As the skewers hit the grill grates, Derek knows the key is to cook them slowly to render that delicious bacon fat. After about 15-20 minutes of grilling—remember to baste with that buttery goodness—the skewers are ready when they reach an internal temperature of 165ºF. It’s all about patience and flavor here, folks!
