Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon-Wrapped Grilled Chicken Tenders.
Step 1
Start by preheating your outdoor grill to a medium heat, and don’t forget to lightly oil the grate to keep those delicious chicken tenders from sticking.
Step 2
While the grill warms up, take your chicken tenders and season them generously with your favorite BBQ rub, making sure each piece is well coated for maximum flavor.
Step 3
Now, let’s add a little indulgence: wrap each seasoned chicken tender with two strips of crispy bacon, tucking in the ends to keep everything secure and delicious.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine honey and water, mixing them together until they’re perfectly blended; set this sweet glaze aside for later.
Step 5
Once your grill is ready, place the bacon-wrapped chicken tenders on the grate and lower the heat to medium-low.
Step 6
Close the lid and let them grill, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until the bacon is beautifully browned and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (73°C).
Step 7
This should take about 12 to 14 minutes, but if you’re craving extra crispy bacon, feel free to crank up the heat for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Step 8
When the tenders are cooked to perfection, move them to an area of indirect heat and brush them generously with your honey mixture, allowing that sweet glaze to soak in.
Step 9
Finally, transfer the chicken tenders to a plate and serve them hot, ready to impress your family and friends with this mouthwatering treat! Enjoy every bite of this delightful combination of smoky, savory, and sweet flavors.
