Method
 

  1. Heat grill for two-zone cooking at medium heat. Place the soaked cedar plank over direct heat for 5 to 8 minutes, just until it starts to smoke; move it to indirect heat. Keep a spray bottle nearby for flare-ups.
  2. Rub chicken with Ellbee's Zesty Gourmet Garlic, Ellbee's Bacon Organic Olive Oil, salt and pepper. Wrap each piece with bacon and secure with a toothpick if needed.
  3. Set chicken on the hot plank, close the lid and cook until bacon is crisp and chicken reaches 165°F, 35 to 45 minutes depending on size. Grill corn alongside during the final 20 minutes.
  4. Brush chicken lightly with Ellbee's Bourbon Balsamic Vinegar during the final 5 minutes. Rest 5 minutes, then serve with corn and watermelon.

Notes

Time: 65 min
Kitchen tip: Use only untreated, food-safe cedar planks. If flames get lively, slide the plank to the cool side and mist the coals—not the food.
