Sweet & Spicy Chicken Bacon Wraps

A great finger food for that “bring a dish” party. What could go wrong with bacon, sugar and spices? Nothing. 

Servings: If serving as app- serves about 12-15 If serving as meal serves about 5 
Level: 1

Ingredients
about 1¼ pounds skinless boneless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch cubes
1½ pounds bacon
⅔ cup dark brown sugar
2 T chili powder
½ t cumin
few dashes of cayenne, to taste


  1. Preheat oven to 350 convection. In a large mixing bowl, combine ⅔ cup dark brown sugar, 2 T chili powder and ½ t cumin. Mix well.
  2. Clean and trim about 1¼ pounds of skinless boneless chicken breast. Cut into approx. 1 inch cubes.
  3. If using thick bacon, thin out with the back edge of a chef knife. Cut the bacon in half, roll around the chicken cubes and secure with a tooth pick. This is the point to cover and refrigerate for better timing.
  4. Prep baking sheet with aluminum foil a rack and spray with PAM.
  5. Roll the pieces in the brown sugar mixture. Be sure to pack some in the ends. Place on the rack.
  6. Bake until golden brown. About 35 minutes for me. Cover with foil on heavy dish to keep warm until served.
