BACON WRAPPED, CREAM CHEESE & JALAPENO STUFFED CHICKEN BITES RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:
- Cut up chicken breasts or tenders into about one inch or inch and a half cubed pieces, Marinate the chicken in whatever you like. Some combination of onion, garlic, soy sauce, salt, pepper, hot sauce, olive oil, and teriyaki sauce is best. The ratios are all to taste. Let the chicken marinate for at least an hour. After chicken has marinated, take one piece and place it at the end of one piece of bacon. On top of the chicken piece, place a jalapeno (or two, depending on their size) and a small dollop (for lack of a better word) of cream cheese. Then start rolling the enitre thing up in the bacon. Try to make it tight, but not tight enough to force the cream cheese to squeeze out. You want the bacon to wrap about two times around the chicken piece. It the bacon piece is too large, just cut off any excess. Put a toothpick(or two) through the the entire thing to hold it together. Each piece should be able to be finished in about two bites. After you have rolled all of your pieces, put them on the grill, turning them with tongs to cook the sides evenly. When the bacon is finished cooking, they are done. Usually about 12-15 mins. per batch depending on how hot your grill is. Plate them and serve.

Tips:
- For a crispier coating, double-coat the chicken bites in the flour mixture.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be sure to heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the chicken bites. If the oil is too hot, the chicken will burn. If the oil is not hot enough, the chicken will be greasy.
- To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of bread into the oil. If the bread sizzles and browns immediately, the oil is ready.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken bites. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the chicken will not cook evenly.
- For a more flavorful cream cheese filling, add herbs, spices, or vegetables to the mixture.
- Serve the chicken and cream cheese bites with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
Conclusion:
Chicken and cream cheese bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be served as a main course with a side of salad or vegetables.
