Let’s Get Cooking!

Ready for those crispy, sweet chicken bites? Here’s how to make them!

Preheat the Oven : Start by preheating your oven to 425°F. Trust me, this is key for getting that crispy bacon!
Prep Your Chicken : Slice the chicken breasts into 1-inch thick pieces. You want them bite-sized but be careful not to go too small!
Wrap and Secure : Take a half-slice of bacon and wrap it around each chicken piece, securing it with a toothpick. I always do it at an angle, but if you prefer to lash it down, that works too!
Brown Sugar Time : In a large freezer bag, add your first batch of chicken bites and ½ cup of brown sugar. (You’ll want to do this in two batches to avoid overcrowding.) Shake it up gently. I like to turn the bag several times to coat the chicken bites without popping too many holes in it.
Get Them on the Sheet : Remove each chicken piece and shake off the excess brown sugar, placing them on a large baking sheet. A rack works wonders too to let that bacon crisp up on all sides.
Bake Away : Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip each piece and continue to bake for another 10 minutes. You’re looking for golden brown and crispy edges, they should smell incredible at this point!
Keeping It Warm : Once they’re out of the oven, you can keep them warm in a slow cooker on the “keep warm” setting. Seriously, just keep ’em cozy while dinner’s getting ready!

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, and they should keep for about 3 days. To reheat, pop them into the oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through. I haven’t tried freezing them yet, but I think they would freeze well if you really need to pre-make them, just be sure to let them cool completely before packing them away!
