Ingredients

Scale

1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
8 slices bacon, cut in half
¼ cup honey
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp paprika
¼ tsp salt
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with black pepper, paprika, and salt. Toss until well coated.
Wrap Bacon: Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around each chicken piece. Use a toothpick to secure if needed.
Mix Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic until smooth and well combined.
Arrange Nuggets: Place the bacon-wrapped chicken nuggets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush with Sauce: Drizzle the honey garlic sauce over the chicken nuggets, making sure each one is coated.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
Garnish & Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm. Enjoy!

Notes

For Extra Crispiness: If you want extra crispy bacon, consider placing a rack on the baking sheet to allow the fat to drain away while baking.
Sauce Adjustment: If you like it sweeter, add a little more honey. For a more savory flavor, increase the soy sauce.
Serving Suggestions: Serve with mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
