Suppose you are grilling

Use grilling skewers or twine

skewer evenly on both sides is the only way ive been able to keep stuff from falling apart

Don't stuff chicken nuggets.

I’ve done this a lot and never had this issue when the bacon is wrapped correctly

When wrapping something with bacon I put it back in the fridge to set. It helps the bacon to stay where wrapped. Sometimes toothpicks are needed.

Get a roll of butcher's twine and get handy with it. It's great stuff in the kitchen. Once you get it down, it takes no time to truss up things like roulades, roasts, birds, stuffed meats, etc. The twine won't come off mid-cook and you can handle the trussed item pretty much like any item because it's not fragile and you no longer fear it falling apart on you. When the cooking's done, it's far superior to toothpicks, too, because a couple of snips with your shears and it pulls right off the food. No fighting to pull toothpicks out of the meat it's stuck to and destroying the thing you wanted to hold together in the process. Also, no forgetting about toothpicks that you find later while you're trying to eat.

Don't be tempted to use just any old twine, either. COTTON butcher's twine. Synthetics are right out because they'll melt and put funky flavors and chemicals into your food and some natural twines are out because they'll leave fibers behind in your food. Cotton's your friend.

Thinner chicken
