Ingredients
  

  • 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
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken tenders with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Wrap each chicken tender with one slice of bacon, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
  • Coat the bacon-wrapped chicken tenders with brown sugar, pressing the sugar gently onto the bacon to adhere.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Place the chicken tenders on the sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until the bacon is crispy and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken tenders rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy the crispy, sweet, and savory combination!

Notes

For an extra kick, sprinkle some cayenne pepper over the brown sugar before baking. Serve these tenders as an appetizer, or pair them with a salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
