Barbecue Popper Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
-4 jalapeño peppers – cut in half and seeded
-4 chicken breasts – boneless, skinless
-1 block softened cream cheese
-4oz cheddar cheese cut into sticks
-24oz thin cut bacon
-1/4 cup Killer Hogs AP Seasoning
-1/4 cup Killer Hogs Hot Rub
-8oz Killer Hogs The BBQ Sauce
1. Prepare charcoal grill for indirect cooking using a 2 zone fire
2. Fill each pepper half with softened cream cheese and season with Killer Hogs Hot Rub
3. Butterfly each chicken breast and season with Killer Hogs AP Seasoning. Lay one pepper inside each breast and top with a stick of cheddar cheese. Close the breast around the pepper and season the outside with AP Seasoning.
4. Lay strips of bacon over the breast overlapping each slice to completely cover the breast. Tuck the bacon underneath the bottom side of the breast, and season with Killer Hogs Hot Rub.
5. Place each chicken breast on the indirect side of the grill and cook until the internal temperature reaches 155°F. Glaze the outside with bbq sauce and continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°FTIP: I pull them off at 160-162 and let the internal temperature carry over to 165 which takes about 5-7 minutes of resting.

Malcolm is great.
Theres an older video on youtube titled atomic elephant turds i believe. Thats where i first saw this recipe and ive been doing it for years now. For me though, its jalapeño, cream cheese, i lay a fat bead of Sriracha down on the cream cheese, then bbq rub, then wrap in a chicken thigh, then wrap with bacon. Grill til done. Then a thin layer of bbq sauce on them then they go under the broiler until the bbq sauce is bubbley and starting to char a little. I call them elephant bombs.
6:50 Malcom "That don't look like boring chicken to me".
Strang enough, I keep getting visuals of those Graboids from the movie Tremors. Now I can't unsee it.
That’s a Malcolm lobster tail right there
Another killer cook!
“Don’t come at me for health advice, come at me if you want it to taste good” – wise words from Malcolm
Can't stand the floppy uncooked bacon you get on thr bottom. Ever cooked the bacon by itself for 10-12 mins before wrapping? Does wonders for helping crisp up. Much better bite
Looking good brother! I love this barbecued bacon wrapped chicken breast recipe spot on! From an old subscriber, you don't even know!
My sensei
That was a great looking buffet with a good selection of food… but I don't think any way I'd be able to do lunch and dinner at a buffet on the same day, even in my prime when I could pack the food in.
They look like Armadillos when done!
If you have to try that hard to make something good; it’s not or you doing it wrong. Japs bacon and cream cheese does not make it better. Gimmick. I love this channel but damn, you know better.
Still the OG of bbq YouTube! Keep on keepin on Malcolm!
Thank you so very much for another Amazing recipe Malcom. You are the Master BBQ Man!
YUM that's a winner.
Only thing i would of done different would be to put it on direct heat last 2 min just so bacon can get just a bit crispier
Armadillo Chicken 🙂
Recipe looks good but i find smoking bacon to leave it too chewy and not crispy enough for me
Do you have health issues? just curious….
When you were putting them on the grill, they almost looked like lobster tails lol. but those look so good!
You missed the opportunity to say "we don't discriminate, we like all size breasts" 😅
Grapefruit spoons work great as a seed scooper.
Yummy 😋🤤
My favorite seasoning is The Bbq Rub by howtobbqright
Don't come to me for health advice. Come to me if you want it to taste good. 😅😂
Bbq, cheese, and bacon!! I was sold at Bbq
Is Malcolm really small or are American teaspoons huge…
"Don't come to me for health advice" Malcome Reed lol. Love this guy.
I proscuitto wrapped a saon fillet & the proscuitto kept falling off. 😅
Hope that cholesterol isn’t catching up to you
WOW….that’s taking yardbird to the stratosphere! 🔥
I have yet to have any of your recipes not come out exceptionally good.
Breasts don't need to go to 165. You can stop at 155-150
BBQ Armadillos!
Good
Why don’t you have your bbq sauce at Walmart in California, they have you rub but not the sauce.
Great vid as usual I want that lighter ! Please provide a link
