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.
