Bacon Wrapped Chicken on the Grill: Family Dinner Made Simple

Posted on
Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

The marinade is what makes Bacon Wrapped Chicken on the Grill: Family Dinner Made Simple so tasty. It keeps the chicken juicy and adds flavor that plain salt and pepper can’t match. The meat stays moist every time, while the bacon crisps up perfectly without drying out the chicken. Chef Lisa Tran, who’s run a barbecue joint for years, said even a short soak lets the flavors sink in so the chicken isn’t bland inside. Letting the chicken sit for at least 30 minutes—longer if you can—gives the best taste. You’ll notice sweet and savory flavors in every bite. If you’ve never marinated before grilling, you’re missing out on a much better meal.

A pie that wows starts with cherries picked at their peak, bright with tart flavor. Each bite should hold just enough sugar to let the fruit shine. Lemon juice adds freshness while a pinch of almond brings a special kick to the mix. The homemade crust needs to stay crisp, holding in rich juices without turning soggy. A shiny, golden top from an egg wash wins eyes before it wins mouths. Letting it cool brings the filling together so every slice stands tall and proud. Every step you take with care gives back tenfold when you cut into that perfect, juicy pie.

With this crock pot brisket recipe, you get beef that’s so juicy and tender each bite almost falls apart (honestly, the prep couldn’t be easier—just season, set it, and forget it). I like to serve mine with roasted carrots or a pile of mashed potatoes, letting the slow-cooked flavors soak into every side.
