Dragon Tongues

[PitMattster]

So have you ever made some ABT's and had a little bit of left over bacon and thought to yourself, "Now what am I going to do with these four strips?"

Sure you could freeze it up or you could try these little bad boys - Dragon Tongues as I call 'em.

Take a half slice of bacon and throw it in some really spicy rub, I've used my homemade chipotle rub here. Then I roll them up, and stick a toothpick to hold them together. But here's the genius part. Take a nice thick hot sauce - I've used Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce - and run a bead along the top. When it cooks the sauce just sits there all smoked and crunchy.....



Last time I made these I only did two and didn't manage to get any pics because they never actually hit a plate. I'm firing the ECB up in an hour, I'll throw an update up when they're done.

Sometimes I do sausages, sometimes I don't. This time I wanted to try a sweeter cream cheese so I mixed a half cup of Turbinado sugar into 400g of cream cheese. The mixture of sweet with spicy and smoky was awesome and a total hit at the party.

Finished pic of the Dragon Tongues and ABT's. Yum!



Close up!



I really like the DT's and will likely just grab a pack of bacon for the next time I fire up the smoker.

Come on now PitMattster remember what mom used to say.

"you get back to the table boy and eat your greens!"

Never mind trying to skip the japs, think vitamins with kick.

Mmmhh, the dragon tongues look really delicious. I HAVE to try them myself soon. I often make my own chili sauce for BBQ and I am going to try the dragon tongues with my homemade sauce, I am really looking forward to checking them out. They could become a BBQ classic since it doesn't seem that it would be very difficult to get them right.

Those DT's are on the "to-do" list. Thanks!
