Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Mix brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Wrap each chicken tender in a slice of bacon and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
  4. Roll the bacon-wrapped chicken tenders in the brown sugar mixture until coated.
  5. Place the tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.

Notes

For extra crispiness, consider broiling the tenders for a minute at the end of baking. Using thick-cut bacon enhances flavor.
