Sweet Bacon Chicken

I was wanting to find a recipe for chicken tenders, so I did what everyone else in America does and perused Pinterest. I found an awesome recipe for Sweet and Spicy Bacon Chicken so I decided to take a look. Anyone that knows me, knows that the word 'spicy' is a huge turn off for me, so I decided to change the recipe up a bit. I promise, this recipe is amazing! 

Sweet and salty are two mixes that I love and this recipe gives you that and more. 


I seasoned my chicken tenders using garlic salt, pepper, a tad bit of regular salt, and this awesome Applewood Rub that I found in my spice cabinet. After I seasoned my chicken I wrapped each piece in bacon and then I coated each bacon wrapped chicken in brown sugar and placed them on the pan.


Bake at 400 degrees for around 30-40 minutes. If I were to do this again I would put a wire rack over the pan and place the wrapped chickens on the wire rack so the chicken did not cook in the bacon grease. 



I hope you enjoy this deliciousness as much as my family did!

    I know that I would enjoy these more than ever. I am out of Applewood Spice though and they don't sell it in Abu Dhabi. I have to wait on my mother to send another bottle.

    Wow this looks so good.

    Bacon makes everything better, doesn't it? I've done bacon wrapped salmon, but haven't tried it on chicken and seeing your recipe makes me ask myself, WHY HAVE YOU NEVER DONE THIS! Adding to menu now.
