Bacon Wrapped Cajun BBQ Chicken Bites

I have been making these chicken bites for a number of years now.  I usually make these tasty bites using my brother’s home made BBQ sauce but because that recipe is under lock and key, I am going to give you one that you might make with your favorite seasonings and your favorite BBQ sauce! I like to use a hearty sprinkle of Cajun seasoning but you can use any of your favorite spices I like to use spicy seasoning, then a sweet BBQ sauce.

INGREDIENTS
3 chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
1 package center cut bacon, cut in half
1 Tablespoon of Cajun spice
1 cup honey BBQ sauce
Toothpicks

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with tin foil and set aside. Sprinkle the bite size chicken pieces with the seasoning and wrap once piece of bacon around each piece of chicken securing with a toothpick. Place each chicken piece on the baking sheet. When all of the chicken has been wrapped bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces and bake an additional 15 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven and drain the liquid from the baking sheet and move your oven rack to the upper portion of the oven. Turn the oven to broil leaving the oven door slightly ajar. At this point brush each chicken piece with BBQ sauce and place back in the oven to broil (leaving the door slightly ajar) for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce starts to caramelize. Turn the chicken pieces over and brush the second side with the BBQ sauce and broil the second side for 2-3 minutes (leaving the oven door ajar). When the BBQ sauce has caramelized and the bacon has crisped up, remove from oven and serve warm OR place in a crockpot on the WARM setting to enjoy through the afternoon or evening!

Enjoy,
