Brown Sugar Chili Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Strips
Brown Sugar Chili Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Strips balance smoky paprika and onion notes with a sweet-heat crust that caramelizes as they bake. The turkey bacon crisps around juicy chicken for a satisfying contrast of texture and flavor. Serve these for game day snacks, weeknight dinners, or party platters when you want something boldly seasoned and irresistibly sticky-sweet.
