He gets A LOT of shredded meat with tortilla chips. I decided to try something new. Well, not really. I bought a whole chicken and I was going to put it in the crockpot and make it shredded BBQ chicken. (Poor kid)
I woke up Sunday morning with a need to cook. Perhaps it was the blue apron box that got delivered the day before, perhaps it was the fact that I had the weekend off. We'll never know.
What I did was nothing short of amazing, I'm not going to lie.
I took that chicken and boned it like a pro. Then I marinated it in 1 cup canola oil, 4T Sriracha and 4T lime juice. After that chicken sat in the fridge for about an hour, I cut that chicken in half (between the breasts) and rolled each half up. Then I wrapped the chicken in bacon, using a beautiful criss-cross pattern. I poured more of the Sriracha sauce over the top and then smushed some brown sugar on top.
Then it got baked at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. At the end I broiled it, and then flipped it and broiled again until that bacon was crispy.
The reason the picture looks so icky is because I wasn't sure if it would be good...but Logan said it was fantastic.
That is a picture of the cold chicken, if you wanted to serve it hot I would pour some of the hot chicken juice over the chicken and top it with a little more Sriracha.
My very picky 13 year old said it was super good after being rewarmed in the microwave, so it has to be delicious!
