Bacon Wrapped Chicken
This bacon wrapped chicken has so much flavor from the juicy, bone-in chicken, crispy bacon, and a slathering of sweet and spicy BBQ sauce.

Ingredients
- 4 bone-in chicken breasts or boneless (See note 1)
- 1/4 tsp chili seasoning
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder or onion powder
- 4 slices Bacon thin-cut, for best results
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Remove any chicken skin from each breast and discard. Sprinkle the chili and garlic (or onion) powder evenly over all four chicken breasts. Wrap a slice of bacon over the top of each breast, tucking the ends underneath. (See Note 1)
- Place the chicken in a greased 13x9” baking dish. Brush each chicken breast with BBQ sauce.
- Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes depending on size of chicken. Baste once if desired while it bakes. Chicken should be done when thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast meat reads 165°F.

Notes
- This recipe was tested with bone-in chicken breasts. If using boneless, check for doneness at 25 minutes. Chicken is properly cooked when an instant read cooking thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the meat registers 165°F.
- The chicken breasts I used were large, so I cut each slice of bacon in half and wrapped the two pieces over the top of each breast, tucking the ends under. Feel free to wrap completely around chicken breast, though I find it does not cook completely. If you want to wrap each piece of chicken, partially cook the bacon and then wrap it completely. That way the bacon is crisp and cooked all over. If wrapped underneath, it tends to steam and not cook completely.
