Jamaican Jerk CLOINK Balls with fresh pineapple and mango salsa

A friend on Facebook asked for the recipe, so I typed it up. here it is...

Chicken Meat Balls

1 lb. ground chicken
4 green onions, thinly sliced
3 T Uncle Jack's Jerk Sauce (or your favorite jerk seasoning)
bread crumbs as needed
Thin cut bacon

Mix everything and add breadcrumbs if the mixture if too wet to hold shape. Form into balls and wrap with 1/2 slice of thin cut bacon and pin with a toothpick.

Cook on a grill using indirect heat or in a smoker until the bacon is done and the meat ball is at least 165 internal temp. Glaze three or four times ti build up a nice shine, letting the glaze set for a couple of minutes between applications.

The glaze was Uncle Jack's thinned with some apple juice and some BBQ sauce added for shine. I didn't measure

Fresh Pineapple and Mango Salsa

1/2 cup diced pineapple
1/4 cup diced mango
1/4 cup diced orange bell pepper
1/4 cup diced tomato (meat only)
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
2T chopped cilantro
salt and pepper to taste

Mix everything and add in some pineapple juice or lime juice if desired. I used a little pineapple juice.
