Wrapping, Baking, and Enjoying
Step 3: Wrap with Bacon
Take one strip of bacon and wrap it tightly around each chicken tender, tucking in the ends to hold everything in place.
Step 4: Add the Sweet & Spicy Mix
In a separate bowl, combine chili powder and brown sugar. Sprinkle this blend over the bacon-wrapped tenders, pressing gently so it sticks. The sugar will caramelize beautifully as it cooks.
Step 5: Cook to Perfection
Place the tenders on a baking tray or grill and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the bacon turns crisp and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
Let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Then dig in — each bite offers the perfect balance of smoky, sweet, and spicy flavors. Ideal for parties, dinners, or a quick weekend treat!
