Preparation

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) then line a parchment paper baking sheet.

Combine in a small bowl the black pepper, salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.

To provide a uniform coating, drizzle the chicken tenders with olive oil then sprinkle the spice mixture over them.

Wrap every chicken tender with a piece of bacon, toothpicks fastening the edges if needed.

Arange the chicken tenders covered in bacon on the ready baking sheet.

Preheat the oven; bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.

Out of the oven, let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Variations and Advice

Add some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the spice blend for a hotter kick. For a smoky-sweet taste, instead coat the chicken tenders with a sugar-free barbecue sauce then wrap them with bacon. To make your own special seasoning mix, you may also play around with other herbs and spices such thyme or rosemary.
