Ingredients
Scale
- 4 lbs chicken thighs sliced thinly
- 1.5 lbs bacon sliced
- 1/2 cup cowboy butter rub
- buffalo sauce as needed
- 2.5 tbsp sour cream
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1.5 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 tbsp chopped dill
- 1.5 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- buttermilk to desired consistency
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Pound the chicken thighs until they are about ⅛” thick.
- Create a base layer of chicken approximately 2.5 feet long and 1 foot wide. Add a layer of bacon over this, then more chicken on top. Wrap everything in foil and place in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or preferably 2-3 hours.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 325F).
- Remove the meat from the freezer and cut it into 2×2” cubes. Skewer these onto small skewers, seasoning the outside with the Cowboy Butter Rub.
- Place the skewers on the grill, cooking slowly to allow the fat to render and the bacon to crisp. Grill for about 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165F, basting with buffalo sauce throughout the cooking process. Once done, remove from the grill and let rest.
- In a bowl, combine your ingredients to make homemade ranch dressing.
- Serve the skewers with the ranch dressing on the side. Enjoy!
Notes
For a spicier kick, adjust the amount of buffalo sauce used during cooking.
Ensure the chicken is fully cooked by checking its internal temperature.
You can customize the ranch dressing by adding more herbs based on your preference.
