Beer is definitely proof that God wants us to be happy. But beer and bacon are proof that there's a heaven - right here on earth!





Beer Candied Bacon Wrapped Chicken is a tasty combination of flavors - sweet, salty, smoky. The chicken is pretty much a carrier for the awesomeness of the sweet drunken bacon.





I used a winter beer for the syrup because of the combination of sweetness and spices. Use what you like for a completely different taste experience. But use something with enough flavor for it to stand up against the bacon.





Beer-Candied Bacon Wrapped Chicken





1 Lb Thick-Cut Bacon, Smoked Bacon

1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

1/4 Cup Beer

2 Large Chicken Breasts





In a small bowl, mix the beer and the brown sugar together until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.





Cook bacon on a griddle or in a pan until just starting to crisp. Place in a bowl and pour the beer syrup over them. Toss to coat.





Continue to cook the coated the bacon on the griddle or in a pan. Turn and baste with syrup as the bacon cooks. Cook until the crispy and browned.





While the bacon is cooking. Cut each chicken breast length-wise into four pieces. And cook on the griddle until done.





Wrap two slices of bacon around each piece of chicken.



Any left over back - yeah right! - can be wrapped into coils and left to dry on a rack for about an hour. It'll get nice and crunchy!
