BBQ Chicken Bacon Bites
So I’m going to kick things off with a tailgate chicken recipe.
Ingredients
- BBQ Chicken Bacon Bites
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 8 oz. (half pound) bacon, cut into thirds
- 1/2 cup Spicy Sweet BBQ Sauce (recipe below)
- Toothpicks
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Wrap each chicken piece with a small strip of bacon. Secure with a toothpick and place on the baking sheet. Brush with BBQ sauce. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven, brush bites with more BBQ sauce, and return to oven. Bake for 15 more minutes. Serve warm.
