Sweet & Spicy Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenders
Ingredients:
12 chicken tenders
12 slices bacon
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup sriracha sauce (adjust to your spice preference)
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare the Sweet & Spicy Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
Wrap the Chicken: Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Wrap each chicken tender with a slice of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
Coat with Glaze: Brush the bacon-wrapped chicken tenders with the sweet and spicy glaze, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.
Bake: Place the bacon-wrapped chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Serve: Once cooked, remove the toothpicks (if used), and garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the sweet, spicy, and savory combination of flavors!
