Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

8 strips of bacon, cut in half

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp olive oil

1/4 cup barbecue sauce (plus extra for dipping)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until the chicken is evenly coated.

      Wrap with Bacon: Take a piece of chicken and wrap a half strip of bacon around it. Secure the bacon with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat this process until all chicken pieces are wrapped.

        Bake the Chicken Bites: Arrange the bacon-wrapped chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should be 165°F or 75°C).

          Glaze with Barbecue Sauce: In the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the chicken bites with barbecue sauce. Return to the oven to caramelize the sauce.

            Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven, let the bites rest for a few minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with additional barbecue sauce for dipping.
