| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Onion powder | 1 tsp |
| Garlic powder | 1 tsp |
| Bacon strips | 10 |
| Light brown sugar | ⅓ cup, packed |
| Chicken tenders | 1 lb (about 10 pieces) |
| Italian seasoning | ½ tsp |
| Paprika | 1 tsp |
| Chili powder | 1 tbsp |
| Black pepper | ½ tsp |
| Salt | ½–1 tsp |
1. Prepare the Seasoning
Preheat the oven or grill to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, mix together the onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, and black pepper.
2. Season the Chicken
Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over the chicken tenders, rubbing gently so each piece is well coated.
3. Wrap with Bacon
Wrap one strip of bacon tightly around each chicken tender, pressing the ends down to secure.
4. Add Sweet Heat
In another bowl, combine the brown sugar and chili powder. Sprinkle this mixture over the bacon-wrapped tenders, pressing lightly so it adheres.
5. Cook
Arrange the tenders on a baking sheet or grill grate. Cook for about 30 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the chicken is cooked through. Let rest for a few minutes.
6. Serve
Serve warm and enjoy the smoky, sweet, and spicy goodness.
