A delightful appetizer combining the savory taste of chicken and bacon with a sweet and spicy glaze.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes.
Try to keep the pieces uniform in size for even cooking.
Cut each bacon slice into thirds.
Using thin-cut bacon helps it crisp up better.
Wrap each chicken cube with a piece of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.
Ensure the bacon is snug around the chicken for better flavor.
In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even coating.
Dredge each bacon-wrapped chicken piece in the glaze mixture, coating it evenly.
Press gently to help the glaze stick to the bacon.
Place the coated chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet.
Leave some space between each piece for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
Check halfway through and rotate the tray for even baking.
Serve the chicken bites warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
These bites are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
