Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preparing this brown sugar bacon wrapped chicken is simple and incredibly rewarding. I always start by preheating my oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly greasing my baking dish.
-
2
In a small bowl, I combine:
-
3
Brown sugar
-
4
Smoked paprika
-
5
Garlic powder
-
6
Onion powder
-
7
Black pepper
-
8
I mix everything thoroughly so the spices distribute evenly throughout the sugar. This mixture is what creates that irresistible sweet and smoky crust.
-

I bake the chicken uncovered at 375°F (190°C) for about 30–40 minutes, depending on thickness.
-
10
Halfway through baking, I like to spoon some of the caramelized juices from the pan over the top of the chicken to enhance flavor and moisture.
-
11
For slightly crispier bacon, I switch the oven to broil for the last 3–5 minutes. I keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
-
12
Using a meat thermometer, I ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the oven.
-
13
To freeze, I wrap each cooked chicken breast tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. I thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
