These juicy chicken tenders are wrapped in crispy bacon and coated with a mouthwatering brown sugar seasoning for the perfect combination of sweet and savory. Ideal for dinner or a party appetizer! 
Ingredients:
1 lb chicken tenders (about 8-10 pieces)
8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
Prepare the chicken tenders:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels, ensuring they are nice and clean for seasoning.
Make the seasoning mixture:
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Coat the chicken:
Roll each chicken tender in the seasoning mixture, making sure each piece is evenly coated.
Wrap with bacon:
Take a slice of crumbled bacon and press it onto each seasoned chicken tender. You can also use a whole slice of bacon to wrap each tender if you’d prefer a bacon-wrapped version.
Bake the tenders:
Place the prepared chicken tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased rack. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
Serve:
Remove from the oven and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy on their own!
Serving Tip:
Serve these with a side of ranch or barbecue sauce for dipping, and enjoy the sweet, savory goodness!
