Ingredients:

  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 8 slices of bacon
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Toothpicks for securing the bacon

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.

  3. Season the chicken tenders with the spice mixture, making sure they are evenly coated.
