Bacon... Bacon... BACON!!!!! Grilled Chicken BLT's!!! Hell YEAH!

Tuesday night... and tonight, we pay homage... to... our love for bacon! Thick cut, salty, tasty, intoxicating, bacon! The ONLY meat my vegetarian friends actually cheat with. And for GOOD REASON, I mean, come on now... bacon ROCKS! Behold some super awesome BLT's... let's begin! I started with thick cut bacon and cooked it in the oven... that's right, NOT ON THE STOVE TOP! This is so easy, set oven to 400 degrees and put bacon on a foil lined baking sheet fit with a rack. Lay bacon on the rack and let it sit in the oven for at least 20 minutes. Check and take out when crisp (20-30 minutes). Easy clean up tip, simply fold up the foil with the bacon drippings and toss! Super easy clean up! While the bacon cooked I washed the super fresh lettuce in a sink of water. Swirl the leaves in the water and let sit while the grit falls to the bottom and take out to dry on towels. Let the lettuce dry while you grill some little chicken tenders to go on our BLT's!! I took a little pack of chicken tenders and brushed them with olive oil and seasoned with garlic powder, salt and fresh cracked pepper. Next I heated up the grill and lay those tasty tenders on the heat for 3 minutes per side. Quick and done! Now, (recite the meat mantra...) cover and let your meat rest for at least 10 minutes so it will be super tender and juicy!!! Time to assemble!!! Lay that chicken, bacon, lettuce and tomato onto your favorite toasted bread and enjoy the bacony flavor of the protein packed BLT... Gremlin style!
