Ingredients for Bacon Wrapped Grilled Chicken

  • ½ cup teriyaki sauce
  • Dry White Vermouth
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • Vegetable oil, for greasing the grill
  • 8-12 slices bacon

How to Make Bacon Wrapped Grilled Chicken

  1. In a large ziplock bag, whisk together ½ cup teriyaki sauce, ¼ cup vermouth, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  2. Add 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) to the bag and ensure they are fully coated in the teriyaki mixture.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
  4. Prepare your grill for medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F).
  5. Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Wrap each chicken breast with 2-3 slices of bacon, completely covering the chicken and securing with toothpicks.
  7. Grill chicken for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the bacon is crispy.
  8. Remove from grill, let rest for 5 minutes, and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
