The key to this dish lies in selecting quality ingredients that enhance the natural flavors without overwhelming them. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 8 slices of bacon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wrap each chicken tender with a slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick if necessary.
  3. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Roll each bacon-wrapped tender in the brown sugar mixture until fully coated.
  5. Place the tenders on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
