Easy Bacon Brown Sugar Chicken (Print-Friendly Version)

Juicy chicken tenders coated in crispy bacon and brown sugar deliver savory-sweet flavors in every bite.

# What You’ll Need to Make This:

01 - 450 g chicken tenders
02 - 120 g cooked and crumbled bacon bits
03 - 100 g light brown sugar
04 - 2 g garlic powder
05 - 0.5 g ground black pepper

# How to Prepare:

01 - Set oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) to ensure even, high-heat roasting.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, add chicken tenders, bacon bits, brown sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss to coat the chicken thoroughly and distribute all seasonings evenly.
03 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange coated chicken tenders in a single layer on the tray, leaving adequate space between each piece for optimal airflow.
04 - Transfer the tray to the centre rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until bacon is crisp and chicken is golden and cooked through.
05 - Check the internal temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer; ensure it has reached at least 75°C for safe consumption.
06 - Allow chicken tenders to rest for 3–5 minutes after baking to preserve juiciness before serving hot.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For best results, use freshly cooked bacon and freshly ground black pepper for optimal flavour.
