Ingredients
8chicken thighsboneless and skinless
8bacon slices
2tbspbutter
8ozmushroomsfinely chopped
1onionminced
2garlic clovesminced
1/2cupchopped parsley
salt and pepper to taste
string
Instructions
Prepare the stuffing by melting the butter in a saucepan. Add onions, mushrooms and garlic. Cook until the onions are tender. Add parsley, salt and pepper and cook another few minutes. Remove the mushroom stuffing from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
If you are using thick bacon, cut each slice in half. If you are using thin/normal slices, then leave them whole.
Place a strip of bacon on a cutting board. Lay a chicken thigh on the bacon slice. Spoon a modest amount of mushroom stuffing on the middle of the chicken thigh. Gently wrap the chicken thigh and bacon around the stuffing. Tie with some string.
Smoke, using wood of choice (I used alder), at 250F for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Internal Temperature of the meat should be 170F.
If the bacon has not crisped up enough, place on the grill for a few minutes.
