Bacon Wrapped Chicken bites are the easiest two-ingredient appetizer, and they are sooo good!
Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites
Chicken and bacon is the best combination, some favorites on my blog are this Easy Skillet Bacon, Chicken and Green Bean recipe, and this Rosemary Chicken and Bacon Salad! Whether you need an appetizer for the Holidays or for watching the game, these never disappoint! The salty, smoky combination of the chicken is perfect when paired with a sweet dip like Sweet red chili sauce or duck sauce, but it’s totally optional!
Using center cut bacon reduces the fat, and wrapped around lean chicken breast you have yourself one delicious appetizer. I used to make these with my Mom as a kid. I recall looking through the oven door, waiting impatiently for them to come out!

This is one of the easiest and favorite dish for my family. We make this as dinner, not appetizers. Perfect for pot luck dinner (you’ll have so many new friends) or for a party. Simply, yet so delicious. Fast and easy, perfect recipe.
“3. Bake on the lower rack turning halfway about 25 minutes, or until thoroughly cooked and browned.”
I assume this means: bake for 12min, then turn them over, then bake for another 12min, or until cooked and browned. I mean we’re not supposed to turn them at about the 25min mark, right? Really shouldn’t be added tangents in the middle of a sentence without adding parentheses.
Correct, bake for 12 min, then flip and bake for another 12 minutes.
I’ve made these several times and they’re great–especially with the Thai chili sauce. The only change I make is I season the chicken with pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning & a tiny bit of salt before wrapping in the bacon.
I love these I make them for dinner with a side salad and I dip them in fat free ranch dressing…..so good
Somebody necessarily lend a hand to make significantly posts I might state. That is the first time I frequented your web page and to this point? I amazed with the research you made to create this actual post amazing. Excellent job!
These are really good,but took a lot longer to cook at least 45 minutes, if not longer to get crisp.
