Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
12 chicken tenders
12 slices turkey bacon, cut in half lengthwise
⅓ cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a cooling rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Mix paprika, salt, and onion powder together in a small bowl. Sprinkle seasoning over both sides of each chicken tender. Wrap each tender with two strips of bacon, tucking the ends in to secure.
  • Mix brown sugar and chili powder together in a small bowl. Gently roll each bacon-wrapped tender in the brown sugar mixture, pressing down to ensure good coverage.
  • Arrange tenders on top of the prepared cooling rack, making sure to not overcrowd.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crisp and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes.
