​I'm finally bringing the week of bacon to a close today. I'm sure that my arteries are singing praises to that right about now.

I'll be honest, this final dish gave me one of those eye-rolling experiences. I thought it would be good... but this was amazing.

I love buffalo sauce... add some bacon in there and I'm done.

I will absolutely be making this again in the very near future.

​This just goes to show that sometimes the simplest of recipes are the best.

Chicken, Bacon, Frank's, done!​

I think sometime I may want to try this with a homemade BBQ sauce or maybe a spicy asian glaze. Mmm...​

Ingredients:
8 Chicken Tenders
​4 Slices Center Cut Bacon, Cut In Half Lengthwise
1 Tbsp. Hot Sauce (I used Frank's.)
​Pepper To Taste

Directions:​
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray or line the sheet with foil.

Wrap each tender with one of the long thin cut strips of bacon; spiraling around from one end of the tender to the other.

You'll want to wrap the bacon around the chicken a little snuggly to keep it from sliding off easily. I didn't need to use toothpicks with mine as the bacon shrank while cooking and held in place well on it's own.

​Place the bacon wrapped chicken tenders into the prepared baking dish and top with 1/2 tbsp. of the hot sauce. Season with a bit of fresh cracked black pepper. (No salt is needed... the bacon and Frank's has quite enough sodium!)

Bake for 10-15 minutes until the bacon begins to brown and crisp.

Remove the dish from the oven, flip the chicken over and top with remaining 1/2 tbsp. of hot sauce. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until the bacon begins to brown and crisp.

​

​I left mine under the broiler for another minute or two per side just to get the bacon to crisp up a little more. I like my bacon crunchy.

Remove from the oven and serve warm with some crudités for a fun and easy appetizer!
