Ingredients

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 8 to 10 slices bacon
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• Sliced green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
2. Cut the chicken.
   Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, large enough to wrap with bacon but small enough to serve as appetizers.
3. Cut the bacon.
   Cut each slice of bacon in half or into thirds, depending on the size of your chicken pieces.
4. Make the seasoning mixture.
   In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder.
5. Prepare the sugar coating.
   Place the brown sugar in a second small bowl.
6. Season the chicken.
   Roll each piece of chicken in the spice mixture until coated.
7. Wrap with bacon.
   Wrap each seasoned chicken piece with a piece of bacon and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Coat with brown sugar.
   Roll or sprinkle the bacon-wrapped chicken pieces with the brown sugar so the outside is lightly coated. If you have any sugar left, sprinkle it over the tops.
9. Season lightly.
   Add a little salt and black pepper, but go lightly since the bacon already brings saltiness.
10. Bake.
    Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is browned and crisp around the edges.
11. Finish and serve.
    Let them rest for a few minutes, then garnish with sliced green onions if you like and serve warm.

Notes

• If your chicken pieces are larger, they may need a few extra minutes in the oven.
• For even crispier bacon, you can broil them for 1 to 2 minutes at the end.
• Wrapping the chicken after seasoning helps the spices stay close to the meat while the sugar caramelizes on the outside.
• These are great for parties, game day, or as a fun dinner appetizer.
