Ingredients
- 8 Chicken Tenders
- 8 slices Bacon
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels. This helps the bacon stick better and ensures even cooking.
- Season the Chicken. Season the chicken tenders with salt, pepper, and optional paprika or chili powder for extra flavor.
- Wrap with Bacon. Wrap each chicken tender with a slice of bacon, slightly overlapping the edges. If desired, sprinkle brown sugar over the bacon for a sweet glaze.
- Bake to Perfection. Place the wrapped tenders seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
- Optional Broil. For extra crispiness, broil the tenders for 1–2 minutes at the end of cooking.
