For the BBQ Rub
For the BBQ Sauce
Directions
- Preheat a charcoal grill for high heat grilling (400°F-500°F). Bank the coals to one side, so you also have an indirect grilling area.
- Wrap 1/2 a slice of bacon around each meatball and secure with a toothpick. Mix the ingredients for the rub. Season the moink balls with the rub. Grill over direct heat, turning to crisp all the bacon. Move the moink balls to indirect heat and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- While the meatballs cook, combine the BBQ sauce ingredients in a saucepan and warm to dissolve the sugar and salt. Immediately after removing the moink balls from the grill, pour some sauce over them and toss to coat.
