Where are all my bacon lovers at? Today I wanted to share with you a delicious summer time meal, sweet and spicy bacon chicken strips. All you need is 4 simple ingredients; chicken tenders, bacon, chili powder and brown sugar.

If you are looking for a chicken dish that has some sweetness but a little spicy too then definitely try out this recipe.

Ingredients:

Chicken Tenders

Hormel Foods Black Label Bacon

Chili Powder

Brown Sugar

Instructions:

Grease a cookie sheet with your favorite oil and preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Season the strips with your chili powder. You can also add salt and pepper to taste at this point.

Wrap a slice of bacon around each piece.

Roll in brown sugar (light or dark whichever you like, we enjoy light).

Place into oven and cook for approximately 30-40 minutes until chicken is cooked through and bacon is brown and crispy.

If you wanted to turn these into smaller appetizers all you would need to do is cut the chicken in bites and half the bacon. The rest of the steps would stay the same. Either way bites or strips you can’t go wrong. You could also add extra spices and make it your own. I call this recipe Sweet and Spicy because of the brown sugar and chili powder but the spicy is minimum. If you really wanted to up the ante you could also add some hot sauce or any of your favorite spicy spices.
