Whether you're hosting or simply indulging, these oven-baked delights promise a burst of flavor in every bite.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. You should get about 12 pieces.
Cut each slice of bacon in half crosswise so you have 24 shorter slices.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create your seasoning mix.
Take a piece of chicken and wrap it tightly with half a slice of bacon. Secure the wrap with a toothpick.
Once all the chicken pieces are wrapped in bacon, roll each piece in the seasoning mix, ensuring it is well-coated.
Place the wrapped chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, with the seam side of the bacon facing down to prevent unwrapping during cooking.
Bake the wraps in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching closely to avoid burning.
Remove the wraps from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as an appetizer or snack!
