Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 lb bacon (thin slices work best)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Toothpicks
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will allow the bacon to crisp up nicely and the excess fat to drip off.
- Prepare the Chicken:
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes.
- Wrap the Chicken:
- Cut the bacon slices into thirds. Wrap each chicken piece with a third of a bacon slice and secure with a toothpick.
- Season the Chicken Bites:
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Roll each bacon-wrapped chicken bite in the seasoning mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
- Bake:
- Place the bacon-wrapped chicken bites on the wire rack, making sure they are not touching.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve:
- Remove the chicken bites from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. The toothpicks make them easy to pick up and eat.
Enjoy your delicious Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites! These savory and sweet bites are sure to be a crowd-pleaser at your next event.
