Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts boneless and skinless, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 8 strips of bacon
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- ½ tsp cumin
- 1 tbsp Red pepper flakes (optional, adjust to your liking)

Instructions
- Prep the oven and baking sheet, and preheat the oven to 350°F.

- Combine chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
- Add your brown sugar to the spice bowl, and stir to combine.
- Trim boneless, skinless chicken breasts into approximately 1-inch bite-sized pieces.
- Cut thin-cut bacon strips in half. Take one piece of bacon and wrap it around a piece of chicken, securing it with a toothpick. Make sure the bacon is long enough to wrap around the chicken entirely.
- Roll each bacon-wrapped chicken bite in the brown sugar and spice mixture, ensuring a generous coating.
- Line them up on your prepared baking sheet. Remember, there’s never too much coating!
- Bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked.
- Garnish with parsley if desired, and serve hot.
