Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Seasoning

Preheat your oven or grill to 175°C (350°F).
In a small bowl, combine the onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2: Season the Chicken

Place the chicken tenders on a tray or board.
Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over each piece and rub gently to ensure full coverage.

Step 3: Wrap with Bacon

Take one strip of bacon and wrap it snugly around each seasoned chicken tender.
Make sure the ends are tucked or pressed to hold.

Step 4: Add a Sweet & Spicy Kick

In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar with chili powder.
Sprinkle this mixture generously over each bacon-wrapped tender, pressing lightly to help it stick.

Arrange the tenders on a baking tray or grill pan.
Bake or grill for about 30 minutes, or until the bacon is golden and crisp and the chicken is fully cooked.
Let them rest for a few minutes after removing from heat.
