Maple Glazed Bacon Chicken Bites are a savory and sweet appetizer that combines tender pieces of chicken, smoky bacon, and rich maple syrup. This crowd-pleasing snack is perfect for parties, gatherings, or as a tasty side dish. The sweet glaze caramelizes in the oven, creating a sticky and delicious coating that pairs wonderfully with the salty bacon and juicy chicken.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 slices bacon, cut in half
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • Optional: black pepper or smoked paprika for added flavor

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Wrap the chicken: Wrap each piece of chicken with a half slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.
  3. Place on baking sheet: Arrange the bacon-wrapped chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Glaze with maple syrup: Brush each piece generously with maple syrup, ensuring each bite is well-coated.
  5. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through. About halfway through cooking, brush the bites with more maple syrup for extra caramelization.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as is, or sprinkle with black pepper or smoked paprika for a hint of spice.
