Grilled Sweet and Spicy Bacon Wrapped Chicken

Easy...Grilled Sweet and Spicy Bacon Wrapped Chicken

Not the greatest picture, but oh my gosh this chicken is the best!

Everything is better with bacon!

I preheat the grill (or oven to 400 degrees)

I take thick chicken breasts, about 5 of them, then tenderize the meat by pounding the breasts down and then cutting the breasts into strips.  Usually I cut 3 per breast. 

Salt and pepper each strip to taste.

Wrap a strip of bacon around each chicken strip.

Place your strips in a mixture of 2 to 3 cups of brown sugar, depending on how many strips you are making, add garlic and chili powder to taste.  If you like it spicy add more chili powder.

Press the brown sugar/garlic/chili powder onto the chicken to be sure it sticks.

Sometimes I get my mixture ready and add the chicken to it and place it on my preheated grill.

I always put down the non stick tin foil because it does make a mess as the brown sugar carmalizes onto the chicken.  Quick and easy.  Cook until inside temperature of chicken reaches 160 degreees.

I have also made this recipe in the oven, you can use a glass dish or put tin foil onto a baking sheet.

Cook in the oven at 400 degrees  for 30 to 40 minutes.

Again...this picture doesn't do this justice!  This recipe is so good!
