## **How to Make Bacon Brown Sugar Chicken Tenders**

### **1. Prepare the Chicken**
1. Preheat your **oven** to **375°F (190°C)**.
2. Pat the **chicken tenders** dry with paper towels. This will help the seasoning stick better.
3. In a small bowl, combine **garlic powder**, **onion powder**, **paprika**, **salt**, and **pepper**. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the chicken tenders.

### **2. Prepare the Bacon**
1. Lay out the **bacon slices** on a cutting board.
2. **Wrap each chicken tender** with one slice of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary. You can slightly overlap the bacon as you wrap it to ensure coverage.

### **3. Add the Sweetness**
1. Sprinkle **brown sugar** evenly over each bacon-wrapped chicken tender. The sugar will caramelize as it cooks, creating a beautiful glaze.
2. Drizzle a small amount of **olive oil** over the top to help the bacon crisp up during cooking.

### **4. Bake the Chicken**
1. Arrange the bacon-wrapped chicken tenders on a **baking sheet** lined with parchment paper or a wire rack for crispiness.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for about **25-30 minutes**, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it has reached **165°F (74°C)**.
3. If the bacon isn’t as crispy as you’d like, you can broil the tenders for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end, but watch them carefully to avoid burning.

**5. Serve & Enjoy**
– Once done, remove the chicken tenders from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
– Serve warm and enjoy the perfect balance of sweet and savory bacon, juicy chicken, and the delightful crunch of caramelized brown sugar
