Brown Sugar Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Tenders

Serve hot as a main dish with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or salad.

These also make fantastic party appetizers when cut into smaller bites.

Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best crispness.

Variations

Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the brown sugar.

Herb Twist: Mix dried rosemary or thyme into the seasoning.

Barbecue Style: Brush with barbecue sauce in the last 5 minutes of baking.

Air Fryer Option: Cook at 375°F for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy.

FAQ

1. Can I use chicken breast instead of tenders?
Yes—just slice chicken breast into strips and prepare the same way.

2. Will turkey bacon work?
Yes, but since it’s leaner, it won’t caramelize the same way. Brush with a little olive oil for crispness.

3. Can I make these ahead?
Yes—assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking. Perfect for meal prep or entertaining.
