A delightful appetizer or snack featuring chicken bites wrapped in bacon, coated in a sweet and spicy glaze, and baked to perfection.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1-inch cubes.
Ensure the chicken pieces are uniform in size for even cooking.
Cut the bacon slices into thirds.
Using thinly sliced bacon ensures it crisps up nicely in the oven.
Wrap each chicken piece with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
Ensure the bacon overlaps slightly to stay secure during baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.
Adjust the spice level by adding more or less cayenne pepper.
Roll each bacon-wrapped chicken piece in the sugar-spice mixture to coat evenly.
Press the coating gently onto the chicken to help it adhere.
Place the coated chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
Spacing the bites apart allows for even cooking and crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
Check the bites halfway through and rotate the baking sheet for even cooking.
Serve the chicken bites warm, optionally with a dipping sauce of your choice.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch and added color.
