Ingredients:
– 1 lb chicken tenders (about 8-10 pieces)
– 8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
– ½ cup brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon garlic powder
– ½ teaspoon onion powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– Cooking spray or oil (for greasing)
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or oil.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Wrap each chicken tender with a slice of bacon, securing the ends with a toothpick if necessary.
4. Roll the bacon-wrapped tenders in the brown sugar mixture, coating them evenly.
5. Place the coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
7. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top for extra crunch. Serve warm.
