Barbecue Chicken Bacon Pickle Bites

In a large bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, all-purpose seasoning, red pepper flakes, and dark soda. Whisk until well combined to create the marinade.

Reserve a portion of the marinade for basting later. Add the cubed chicken to the remaining marinade, mix to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least a few hours.

To assemble, take one piece of marinated chicken and one pickle slice and wrap them together with a 1/3 strip of bacon.

Place the assembled bites on a wire rack and lightly season all over with your favorite barbecue rub.

Place the rack in an oven or on a smoker preheated to 250°F. Cook until the bacon is rendered and almost crispy.

Baste each bite with the reserved marinade.

Continue to cook for another 20 minutes, or until the glaze has caramelized and the chicken is cooked through.

Remove from the heat and let cool slightly before serving.
