Process

• Cut chicken into 1″ cubes
• Slice your thick cut bacon in half and line on a baking tray lined with parchment paper
• Mix seasoning ingredients together, then run half onto the bacon strips
• Roll 1 chicken cube up in each halved bacon strip
• Rub the remaining seasoning overtop the wrapped chicken, flip over and coat the other sides as well
• Bake at 350 for 25 minutes
• Flip, and bake an addition 10-15 minutes. Optionally, broil 1-2 minutes per side, depending how thick your bacon is and how crispy you’d like it
• Make your sauce
• Whisk water and arrowroot together in a small bowl and set aside
• Toast your red pepper flakes about 3 minutes in a small sauce pan
• Add remaining ingredients, minus your starch mixture
• Bring the mixture to a boil, and cook an additional 4 minutes, stirring regularly

• It will thicken as your stir, and will continue to thicken as it cools
• Allow to cool before placing in a storage container and into the fridge.
• Your sauce is good for up to 2 weeks in the fridge

I personally love crispy bacon, so I turned the broiler on at the end to crisp them up good!

I’m positive if you show up on football Sunday with these they’ll be a crowd favorite!
