Crunchy, tangy, delicious and smokey- Smoked Bacon-wrapped pickles. A fantastic combination you haven’t even imagined, (but will love). Enjoy these as an appetizer, tasty snack, or as part of an extraordinary Bloody Mary. Those briny little devils will be the hit of your next party.
These salty delights are OH SO EASY to make. We made them on the smoker but you can just as easily prepare them on a grill or an airfyer.
Start by patting dry your spears. I would not suggest using anything smaller (like pickle chips or baby dills) for the grill.
I used thick cut bacon, because everything is better with bacon. It did increase the cook time to make sure it got crispy enough.
Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around a pickle spear.
You should set you smoker at 350 degrees. since the rub I used was already mesquite favored, we used a little apple to flavor the smoke. At 350, you will be smoking your bacon wrapped pickles about 40 mins or until the bacon has crisped up.
If you want to infuse more smoke flavor in the bacon, start the smoker at 280 degrees and slowly increase the heat.
If you decide to air fry your salty delights, set your airfryer at 375 degrees and check on them around at the 20 minute mark.
Let the pickles rest for 5-10 minutes to let the bacon firm up because, you know, firmness counts.
