Ingredients

2 lbs Chicken Thighs
Make a rub for the chicken of salt, cayenne, pepper and sweet paprika
½ pack Tender Belly Bacon diced and cooked so fat is rendered out
Dressing from Potato salad listed above (make the dressing in equal amounts)
King’s Hawaiian rolls

Directions:

After cooking bacon and separating fat from bits, make your Baconnaise.
Add 1 Tbsp bacon fat to Mayo and set aside.
Using a super hot grill, peel husks back or take off completely depending on the finished look you are going for.
Grill several minutes, leaving nice grill marks all the way around.
Top each ear first with Baconnaise, then add bacon bits and cilantro and Cotija cheese.

Don't Just Take Our Word for It

This bacon is so good I want to put it in my hair. That's not weird is it? No seriously, it really is the best bacon I have ever had.

This is the BEST bacon I have ever had. Very Juicy and tender. This bacon literally melts in the mouth.

Words pale to explain the rich layers of flavor in every bite of tender belly ham. The smallest bite delivers a rich full mouth experience that will be sure to put a smile on the face of your harshest ham critic.

The sausage links are outstanding and full of flavor, I highly recommend them
