Ingredients
  

1 lb chicken tenders

8 slices of bacon

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and salt. Whisk until well combined to form a glaze.

      Wrap the Chicken: Take each chicken tender and coat it in the glaze. Then, wrap one slice of bacon around each tender, starting at one end and overlapping slightly as you go. Secure the ends with a toothpick if necessary.

        Bake the Chicken Tenders: Place the wrapped chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Brush any remaining glaze over the top of the bacon-wrapped tenders for extra flavor.

          Cook Until Crispy: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). You can broil for the last few minutes to crisp up the bacon even more.

            Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

              Enjoy your delicious Bacon Brown Sugar Chicken Tenders that are sure to wow your taste buds!
