Prepare the marinade by combining grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, lime juice, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix well.
Cut the chicken breasts into 12 evenly-sized strips (approximately 1 inch wide and 3-4 inches long).
Place the chicken strips in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.
Take the marinated chicken strips out of the refrigerator. Wrap each strip with a slice of bacon, securing the ends with a toothpick if necessary.
Arrange the bacon-wrapped chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet or wire rack.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Once done, remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, as an appetizer or main course, with additional lime wedges or dipping sauce of your choice.
