| BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN BITES |
The bacon, the sugar, the chicken; this recipe has got to be the motherlode of all appetizers! They're filled with flavor, sweet from the sugar, salty from the bacon, plus I generously seasoned them with some fresh cracked pepper.
This recipe only involves a couple of ingredients! It’s amazing how just a couple of items from your kitchen can make something so delicious.
INGREDIENTS :
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
- 1 tsp pepper or to taste
- 12 slices bacon thin cut, cut into halves or thirds
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 2 chicken breasts boneless and skinless, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1 tbsp parsley for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS :
- Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
- Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil, this will save you from having to scrub your baking sheet. Place a cookie rack on top the baking sheet. I used a cookie rack here. Place the sugar in a shallow plate.
- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Depending on your bacon how thin or thick it is, cut each slice in either half or 3 pieces. I cut mine into 3. Wrap each piece of chicken with a piece of bacon. There is no need for toothpicks, the bacon will stick to the chicken. Roll the wrapped chicken into the brown sugar and make sure each piece is nicely coated in the brown sugar.
- Place chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet and season again with more salt and pepper.
- Bake for about 45 minutes or until bacon is nice and crisp.
- Garnish with parsley, so that it looks pretty.
