I was going to try Birria Tacos next, but this recipe was on my pile (I can't remember where it's from), it sounded good, and I had some new wood-handled skewers to try out. 2 lbs boneless skinless cheekun thighs, cut into 1" squares Thick-sliced bacon, cut into 1" squares (one slice per thigh worked perfectly) For the Baste: 1.5 cups commercial BBQ sauce 1/3 cup Blanton's* bourbon 3 Tbl dark brown sugar 2 Tbl sriracha 1.5 Tbl yellow moostard 1 Tbl neutral oil 1/2 Tbl garlic powder 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pecker * in honor of YukonRon Alternate the cheekun and bacon on the skewers, grill over a hot fire, basting top each time you turn (~every 3 minutes). Next time I'll leave out the oil, all it did was pool up on top of the baste and coat my basting brush. I really like the new skewers; I had been using Weber's but while flat they were only about 1/8" wide, and some foods would spin on them, plus I would always forget and grab the metal handle and burn the &$^%! out of my hand. These have nice bamboo handles, are wide, and a set of 8 came in a zippered folder covered with Capitol-Camo™, $9! I will be sharpening the tips on my diamond stones, though. I didn't get quite the crispy edges I wanted, but I have an idea I'm going to try tomorrow. Tasty, this was a keeper.
