Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites
Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites are the sweet and savory snack that are deliciously addictive and perfect for game day!
Servings: 28 chicken bites
Ingredients
- 10 pieces of bacon cut into thirds
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2/3 cup brown sugar divided
Instructions
- Place the chicken breast chunks into a bowl. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and 1/3 cup brown sugar and toss to fully coat. Let the chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Par-cook the pieces of bacon in the microwave for about a 1 minute a 1 minute and 20 seconds (this will vary by microwave). Make sure to form a single layer on a plate. I did them in batches.
- Wrap a piece of the cut up bacon around each chicken chunk and secure it with a toothpick.
- Once all chicken chunks are wrapped in bacon, place them all back in the bowl with the other 1/3 cup brown sugar and gently toss to coat each one.
- Spread bacon wrapped chicken pieces on the pan in a single layer but not touching.
- Bake for 15 minutes and if needed, turn up the oven to broil and broil them for a couple minutes to crisp up the bacon.
- Cool for a couple minutes and serve.
Notes
Serve them plain because they can totally hold their own, or with a side of your favorite barbecue sauce. A spicy bbq sauce would add a whole other element of flavor next to the sweet and savory. Of course Ranch dressing dip is always a sure winner, too.
