Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites
Bacon wrapped chicken bites make an excellent party appetizer. Boneless chicken pieces are seasoned with a sweet and spicy blend, wrapped in bacon, and baked. An easy and quite effortless recipe to make for large gatherings.
These bacon wrapped chicken bites are crazy good and are a must for parties. Bite-sized chicken pieces are tossed in a sweet and spicy blend, wrapped in bacon strips, and baked. At first, you bite into smoky crispy bacon, and then comes the juicy moist chicken.
You can make these ahead of time and pop ’em in the freezer. Bake them right from frozen when guests show up at your door. You can also pop them in an air fryer.
Ingredients for Bacon wrapped Chicken bites
- Chicken– Boneless chicken breast cut into 1.5 -2 inches bite-size pieces. Chicken thighs are fatty/dark meat and will not work for this recipe.
- Bacon– Not thick sliced. Cut bacon strips into half.
- Seasoning – Garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, rosemary, salt and pepper
- Toothpick
Recipe Tips
- Make sure chickens are cut into even sized pieces and are at room temperature for even cooking.
- Baking the bacon-wrapped chicken on a wired rack helps hot air circulation and bacon crisps up evenly. Also, the extra fat from bacon drips and gets collected on the baking tray.
- Line the baking tray with an aluminum foil, for easy clean-up.
- If you can, after tossing chicken with the seasoning, let it sit for 30 minutes – 1 hour in the refrigerator for the flavors to develop.
