Bacon-Wrapped Brown Sugar Chicken Tenders are the perfect blend of sweet, smoky, and savory! Juicy chicken tenders are wrapped in crispy bacon, coated in a rich layer of brown sugar, and baked to caramelized perfection. With just a handful of simple ingredients, this easy yet impressive dish is ideal for weeknight dinners, party appetizers, or game day snacks. The bacon crisps up beautifully while the brown sugar melts into a sticky glaze that takes these chicken tenders to the next level.
Bacon and Brown Sugar Chicken Tenders
Preheat oven to 375°F 🔥
Cut each chicken breast lengthwise into 4 long, thin strips. Season with salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl, place the brown sugar, and toss the chicken strips in brown sugar to coat.
Wrap each chicken tender in a strip of bacon and either tuck the ends under the bottom of each tender, or place a toothpick to hold bacon in place and place in a shallow baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar over the top of the bacon-wrapped chicken tenders and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F and the bacon gets crispy. Serve hot.
