Celebrity Cook-Along, Paula Deen!

Are Y'All out there??? Good! I, and the Dairy Farmers of America, welcome you to the Celebrity Cook-Along. This month I invited you to make Paula Deen's Sweet Chicken Bacon Wraps with me, or any other recipe by Paula.
Recipe HERE.

Various stages of prep:

Out of the oven:

Chow time!
Notes:
  • OMG these are amazing! Guys will follow you around like puppy dogs as you carry the tray.
  • I didn't use the rack, my dish washer's name is Lynn and she gets cranky having to wash things like that! I'm sure the air circulation would have helped the bacon crisp up more. 
  • While these are perfect as written, I had to add cayenne to half of the batch, oh yea, a good idea.
  • They would be beautiful served with fresh cantaloupe and watermelon.
  • They're even good cold.
  • Oh, and the dish washer would like to suggest tin foil instead of silicone for ease of clean-up.
Since the 15th fell on the weekend, Linky will be up from Friday through Monday.
Ok, did you make them or did you make something else? Linky on up:@)

and Earl says...
Bring it on Baby, I ain't afraid of no buttah!!!

    Your bacon wrapped chicken has my mouth watering for a taste! Laughing at Earl on the butter...cracks me up every time I see him.

    I'm SO glad Blogger resolved their *issues* so this cook along could take place. I think this is the first one I've joined in on.

    Thanks for doing them...they're fun!
    fondly,
    Rett

    These look delicious! Yum! I'm so glad Blogger is back up - I was beginning to wonder if they'd ever get it fixed. I had to do my post in another program and then copy and paste it this morning. :) Can't wait to see all the other Paula Deen recipes.

    I'm still waiting for Blogger to restore my Paula post from yesterday so I can link up. If I have to redo the whole thing I'm going to be a very unhappy blogger!

    Paula's bacon wraps sound wonderful! I love the idea of adding cayenne. Love that stuff.

    So glad you extended it as I made 2 items but want to make a cake for Sunday! With Blogger being down, I didn't know if I would get the other one done, but it is almost there.

    They look good, L! Did Earl hide in the corner?
    I made mine tonight, but I am not posting yet. Everything is so messed up with blogger being down.
    All I can say is PD needs nutrition classes! :)
    Buttah or fried,
    Your heart decides! :)

    Love the first line of this post! Being shut out has been no fun, glad we are able to be back just in time for the party though :)

    Think it is cute that you did up a bacon one, they look amazing, but then ANYTHING with bacon is my favorite.

    Thanks for hosting this wonderful party.

    Yum! Imagine my frustration returning from vacation and NO BLOGGER! I felt totally disconnected--well, I was. Now it's catch up time.

    Thanks for your concern about my nieces. They are healing nicely.

    Best,
