Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Season the chicken tenders with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Wrap each chicken tender with a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if needed.

Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the bacon-wrapped chicken tenders, pressing lightly to adhere.

Place the tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through.

Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

For a different twist, try using maple syrup instead of brown sugar to create a deliciously sticky glaze. If you prefer a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix. You can also experiment with different herbs such as rosemary or thyme to infuse additional flavors into the dish. If cooking for a crowd, this recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
