Instructions
Step 01
Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease the surface.

Combine chicken strips with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
Step 03
Wrap each chicken strip with a slice of bacon, securing ends with a toothpick if necessary.
Step 04
Pour brown sugar into a shallow bowl. Roll each bacon-wrapped chicken strip in the sugar, pressing gently for adhesion. Sprinkle any excess sugar over the top.
Step 05
Arrange the prepared chicken pieces on the baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter to enhance browning.
Step 06
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C.

Broil for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, monitoring closely, to achieve a golden and crisp exterior.
