Ingredients

Preparation Method


Start by pre-heating your grill to a medium heat. While your grill is warming up, lay your chicken tenders out on a clean surface. Season them with salt and pepper to your liking. Then, carefully wrap each chicken tender with a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick.

Next, lightly brush the wrapped chicken tenders with olive oil. This helps to prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill and adds an extra layer of flavor. Now, it's time to grill! Place the bacon-wrapped chicken tenders on the grill, turning them occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.

While the chicken is grilling, warm up your BBQ sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. After about 10 minutes on the grill, start brushing the BBQ sauce onto the chicken tenders. Continue to turn and baste the chicken with BBQ sauce every few minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the bacon is crispy, this should take about 20-25 minutes in total.

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making your chicken even more succulent.

Tips and Conclusion


For an extra kick, consider adding a teaspoon of hot sauce to your BBQ sauce. This gives your chicken a spicy twist that pairs perfectly with a cold beer or cocktail. If you have any leftovers, they make a great filling for a wrap or topping for a salad the next day.
