Provided by Chef John

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 2h46m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

⅓ cup ranch dressing
1 teaspoon hot chile paste (such as sambal oelek)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch pieces
24 (1-inch) pieces red onion
12 slices thick cut bacon
salt and black pepper to taste
12 (6 inch) bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 2 hours

Steps:

  • Whisk together ranch dressing and hot chile paste in a large bowl.
  • Mix in chicken pieces and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove chicken from the bag and transfer to a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels. Pat chicken pieces dry with more paper towels.
  • Thread a piece of onion about 1 1/2 inches down the skewer.
  • Thread the end portion of one strip of bacon onto skewer so the rest of the strip is hanging down. Skewer on a piece of chicken; thread on the next portion of the bacon. Turn the skewer so that the long end of the bacon is again hanging down. Repeat this process of skewering and turning until the entire strip of bacon is threaded, using 4 to 5 chicken pieces.
  • Thread a second piece of onion onto the end of the skewer.
  • Repeat steps 5 through 7 for all twelve skewers.
  • Season chicken skewers with salt and pepper as desired.
  • Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until nicely browned on all sides and the meat is no longer pink in the center, 12 to 16 minutes total per skewer. Serve with ranch dressing as a dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken drumsticks: Select evenly sized drumsticks so they cook evenly. Look for plump, meaty drumsticks with smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Use high-quality bacon: Choose thick-cut bacon for a more flavorful result. Regular-cut bacon can also be used, but it will not be as crispy.
  • Make sure the bacon is cooked crispy: This will add more flavor and texture to the dish. Cook the bacon until it is browned and slightly charred around the edges.
  • Use a good quality ranch dressing: A homemade ranch dressing is always best, but you can also use a store-bought dressing if you are short on time. Just make sure it is a good quality dressing that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken drumsticks, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken drumsticks until they are cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove them from the oven.

Conclusion:

Bacon ranch chicken drumsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties, game day, or a casual weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a tasty and satisfying dish, give bacon ranch chicken drumsticks a try. You won't be disappointed!
