Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Once the oil is hot, add the bacon-wrapped chicken bites to the skillet in batches, cooking for about 1-2 minutes on each side until the bacon is lightly browned.

Transfer the seared bacon-wrapped chicken bites to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
