It’s that time of year again! We’re all putting our host/hostess hats on and smiles on our faces for the holiday parties. Let’s get real for a moment: the holidays can be a little bit stressful – yet oh-so-much-fun if you just make it work! Part of making it work, in my book, is making simple, easy and still delicious recipes with quality products.
Kickin’ Chicken Bites are just that: simple, easy, delicious and made with quality products. They come together quickly and are sure to impress everyone at your holiday party. Plus, if you are a fan of a little spice in your life, these are your ticket! If you aren’t such a fan, just pass on the cayenne pepper and they will be more sweet from the brown sugar. I’m always looking out for people with weak taste buds, because I might just be one of those people!
Ingredients 1 lb bacon
1 lb Gold’n Plump® Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Fillets, cut into bite size pieces
2/3 c. brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp pepper
Instructions Cut bacon pieces into thirds the short way. Take each piece of chicken and wrap a piece of bacon around it. Fasten bacon with toothpick and set aside.
In a small bowl mix remaining ingredients together. Take each piece of chicken and dredge it in the brown sugar mixture making sure to sprinkle a little on top, too.
Place on wire rack on a pan lined with aluminum foil.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes until chicken juices run clear and bacon is crisp.
