Pickle Poppers

Directions

  1. Marinate chicken thighs in some Bachan’s Hella Hot Japanese Barbecue Sauce.

  2. Hollow out the halved pickles removing the middle, but keeping the skin still intact.

  3. Grill the chicken over medium high heat until it reaches 165F then remove and chop into bite size pieces.

  4. Combine the chicken in a bowl with softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese and a splash of Hella Hot then mix until combined.

  5. Stuff the mixture into each brim of the hollowed out pickle, then tightly wrap the pickle in bacon and season with a bbq rub. Note: be sure to use regular cut bacon, do not use thick cut bacon.

  6. Place the pickles on a wire rack then smoke them at 250° F for 45 minutes.

  7. While the pickles some, make the homemade ranch by combining all of the ingredients together in a bowl. Mix until fully combined then store in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 7 days.

  8. Glaze the pickles with Hella Hot the last 10 minutes, then remove pickles when bacon is crispy.

  9. Serve warm and dip them in the homemade ranch and enjoy!
