Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Tenders

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 12 chickens tenders
• 12 slices turkey bacon , cut in half lengthwise
• 0.33 cups light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon chili powder

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a cooling rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet.

2. 2

   Mix paprika, salt, and onion powder together in a small bowl. Sprinkle seasoning over both sides of each chicken tender. Wrap each tender with two strips of bacon, tucking the ends in to secure.

3. 3

   Mix brown sugar and chili powder together in a small bowl. Gently roll each bacon-wrapped tender in the brown sugar mixture, pressing down to ensure good coverage.

4. 4

   Arrange tenders on top of the prepared cooling rack, making sure to not overcrowd.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crisp and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes.
