Ingredients

Skewers:

10-12 Chicken Sausages links
2 lbs of Bacon sliced
2 cup of Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Hot Honey Ranch Butter:

1 cup Melted Butter
2 tbsp Hot Sauce
2 tbsp Ranch Seasoning
1 tbsp Local Honey
1 tbsp Chopped Parsley
1 tbsp Chopped Chives

Instructions

Begin by wrapping each of your chicken sausages in 1-2 slices of bacon. Next, carefully skewering your sausage onto a two prong skewer or using two single prongs. Set them in the fridge for 10 minutes to set.
In a bowl, mix together the ingredients for the ranch butter.
Preheat your grill for medium heat (around 350F) doing a three zone technique making the grill grate or the place where you lay your skewers at least 6 inches away from the heat.
Add the skewers to the grill to cook for about 15-20 minutes, flipping as needed . Make sure to watch out for flare ups, and pull the sausages off or move the coals around it that becomes a problem.
Once the skewers are close to their final temperature (165F), begin topping them. Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and cover the skewers with the lid until the cheese melts (about 2-3 minutes). Right before they are done, drizzle with ranch butter and chopped chives (on or off the grill if you prefer). Once garnished, pull off and let cool for 5 minutes.
When ready, slice into the skewers and enjoy!

Notes

Cold Bacon? Really?

Not to eat, obviously — for wrapping your chicken sausages without getting insanely frustrated! It's much easier to wrap a piece of bacon around the sausages when it's cold from the fridge. If you find your slices flopping around, just stick them in the freezer for five minutes to help firm them up. Also, don't skip the step where you set the skewers in the fridge for 10 minutes after assembling. This move will also give the bacon time to set in its shape, because we don’t want them falling off the sausage as we grill.
