Equipment

Ingredients

Chicken and Bacon:

2 lbs. Chicken Tenders
1 lbs. Bacon

Dry Rub Ingredients:

2 tablespoons Paprika
1 teaspoons Black Pepper
3 tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Chili Powder
½ teaspoon Dry Mustard

Instructions

Prepare the Dry Rub:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees f.
Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. I like to fill an empty spice bottle with the rub and sprinkle the tenders with the spice rub. You can probably make this recipe a couple of times with the amount of rub this recipe makes.

Prepare the Chicken Tenders:

If you are using chicken breasts cut each one into three pieces. Liberally coat the chicken tenders in the dry rub.
Wrap each chicken tender in one or two slices of bacon.
Place the tenders on a wire rack if you want the bacon evenly crisp all the way around. Or you can simply place them on a baking sheet.

Baking Instructions:

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F. Use an instant-read internal thermometer. Turn on the broiler for the last few minutes to crisp up the bacon.
Enjoy immediately while they are warm and crispy, Dip in your favorite sauces such as ranch, buffalo, or barbecue.
