Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken Tenderloins
- ½ cup Your favorite rub *check out Chupacabra seasoning link above
- 1 package thin sliced bacon
- ½ cup butter, salted
- wood chips for smoker *I use apple
Instructions
- Coat each side of the tenders with rub. (I coat each side with a different rub from above)
- Wrap each tender with a slice of bacon (Sam’s has a 10lb box of restaurant style bacon. The slices are separated and on wax paper. They are easy to peel off. Your bacon does not need to be frozen. You like a little stretch to it. It freezes well too)
- Get your smoker to 300 degrees. Put your tenders on the smoker.
- Add some chips to the fire.
- Smoke your tenders at 250-300 degrees.
- Flip the tenders after an hour.
- They are done when the tenders reach 165 degrees.
- Slather them with a generous helping of butter. Serve!
