Ingredients
Scale

- 8 slices of bacon
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken tenders.
- Wrap each chicken tender with a slice of bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon-wrapped chicken tenders and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bacon is crispy and browned.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.

- For extra crispiness, broil the chicken tenders for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of the baking time.
- Ensure that the bacon is wrapped tightly around the chicken tenders to keep the flavors intact.
