Step 1: Prepare the Seasoning
Preheat your oven or grill to 175°C (350°F).
In a small bowl, combine onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, and black pepper.
Step 2: Season the Chicken
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chicken tenders.
Gently rub to ensure all sides are coated.
Step 3: Wrap with Bacon
Take one strip of bacon and wrap it snugly around each chicken tender, tucking in the ends to secure.
Step 4: Add the Sweet & Spicy Mix
Combine chili powder and brown sugar in a bowl.
Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the bacon-wrapped tenders, pressing lightly so it adheres.
Step 5: Cook to Perfection
Arrange the tenders on a baking tray or grill.
Cook for about 30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is fully cooked.
Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
Serve warm and savor the incredible blend of smoky, sweet, and savory flavors.
