Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 lb chicken tenders (about 8-10 pieces)
- 8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Cooking spray or oil (for greasing the baking sheet)
Step-by-Step
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and lightly grease with cooking spray or oil.
2️⃣ Prepare the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
3️⃣ Coat the Chicken
Pat dry the chicken tenders with paper towels. Coat each tender evenly with the brown sugar mixture, pressing it onto all sides.
4️⃣ Wrap with Bacon
Wrap each seasoned chicken tender with a slice of cooked bacon, securing it with toothpicks if needed. Place them on the prepared baking sheet seam side down.
5️⃣ Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
6️⃣ Serve
Remove the toothpicks before serving. Serve the Sweet & Smoky Bacon-Wrapped Chicken hot as a main dish or appetizer.
