I was wanting to find a recipe for chicken tenders, so I did what everyone else in America does and perused Pinterest. I found an awesome recipe for Sweet and Spicy Bacon Chicken so I decided to take a look. Anyone that knows me, knows that the word ‘spicy’ is a huge turn off for me, so I decided to change the recipe up a bit and call it Sweet Bacon Chicken. I promise, this recipe is amazing!
Sweet and salty are two mixes that I love and this recipe gives you that and more.
I seasoned my chicken tenders using garlic salt, pepper, a tad bit of regular salt, and this awesome Applewood Rub that I found in my spice cabinet. After I seasoned my chicken I wrapped each piece in bacon and then I coated each bacon wrapped chicken in brown sugar and placed them on the pan.
Bake at 400 degrees for around 30-40 minutes. If I were to do this again I would put a wire rack over the pan and place the wrapped chickens on the wire rack so the chicken did not cook in the bacon grease.
I hope you enjoy this deliciousness as much as my family did!
Yum yum! Sounds delish!
Amazing! I love recipes with so much flavor!
Oh I am making these. I think I will add it it to next week’s menu for sure.
Oh my gosh, this looks so good. I love all things with bacon so I will definitely be trying this out.
I make a recipe VERY similar and my husband adores it. I add a bit of chili and cumin for a hint of spice though.
That sounds easy enough. I know some bacon lovers that would be all over this!
For the love of yumminess and bacon! I’m going to have to try this one of these weekends!
This sounds soooooo good. With the addition of the bacon my husband will LOVE it.
We love bacon anything in our house! This sounds perfect for summer.
Bacon??? Did you say BACON?? I’m totally there!
Yum! This sounds really good! Plus it has bacon. You can’t go wrong with bacon!
According to my oldest daughter, the easiest way to make something taste better is to add some bacon to it.
Sounds delicious…pinned I am always looking for new meals to make
we had chicken tonight. Now I’m wishing I read this first!!
ANYTHING with bacon wins in my book. I could definitely eat this right now!
Bacon makes everything better, doesn’t it? I’ve done bacon wrapped salmon, but haven’t tried it on chicken and seeing your recipe makes me ask myself, WHY HAVE YOU NEVER DONE THIS! Adding to menu now.
When you wrap the bacon around the salmon how do you cook it.. Since it takes like salmon like 8 mns to cook and bacon 15? Do tell.. please.
Looks like a great family meal. I have a friend who puts bacon on everything. I will have to tell him about this
You had me at bacon. I’m making a list of fun new grill ideas to try since we’ve fired our grill up this year. We cooked out all weekend long!
