Bacon-Wrapped Honey Mustard Tenders- chicken tenders are marinated in honey mustard, wrapped in bacon, and then baked until crispy. So much flavor!

How To Serve

These chicken tenders are salty, sweet, and a little spicy. They make a great gameday snack or kid-friendly dinner. Serve with extra honey mustard for dipping.

What You’ll Need

• Yellow Mustard
• Honey
• Worcestershire sauce
• Cayenne Pepper– add 1/4 teaspoon for just a little heat and 1/2 teaspoon if you want them spicy.
• Chicken Tenderloins
• Black Pepper
• Bacon– do not use thick-cut bacon.

How To Make Bacon-Wrapped Honey Mustard Tenders

1. Mix together the mustard, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper.
2. Add the chicken tenderloins and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour. (Note: You can leave them in the fridge for longer than 1 hour if needed.)
3. Remove chicken from marinade and season with pepper. Wrap a slice of bacon around each one.
4. Place on a greased rack inside a rimmed baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 24 minutes. To crisp the bacon up, turn the broiler on for the last few minutes.

Bacon-Wrapped Honey Mustard Tenders Recipe Tips

You can use toothpicks to secure the bacon but it’s not necessary.

Do NOT use thick-cut bacon. It takes too long to cook and get crispy.

Boneless chicken breasts can be used instead of chicken tenders. Just slice each one into about 6 strips.

Storage

Leftovers will keep for 3 to 4 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the oven or an air fryer to crisp the bacon up.
