  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 42 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound chicken tenders
– 6 slices turkey bacon
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 large eggs
– Cooking spray or oil for frying


Instructions

Creating Turkey Bacon Brown Sugar Chicken Tenders is easy if you follow these simple steps:

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

2. Prepare the Breading: In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

3. Set Up the Egg Wash: In another shallow dish, crack the eggs and beat them until well combined.

4. Prepare the Turkey Bacon: Cut the turkey bacon slices in half. You will wrap each chicken tender with a half slice of turkey bacon.

5. Wrap Chicken Tenders: Take a chicken tender and wrap it with a half strip of turkey bacon. Make sure the bacon overlaps slightly to cover the tender completely. Repeat this step for all chicken tenders.

6. Coat the Tenders: Dip each bacon-wrapped chicken tender first into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

7. Add Brown Sugar: Sprinkle brown sugar liberally over each coated tender, pressing slightly to help it adhere.

8. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are spaced apart to ensure even cooking.

9. Spray with Cooking Oil: Lightly spray the tenders with cooking spray or drizzle a little oil on top to enhance browning.

10. Bake: Bake the chicken tenders in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. You can flip them halfway through for even cooking.

11. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) before removing them from the oven.

12. Let Them Rest: Once done, remove from the oven and let the tenders rest for a few minutes before serving.
