Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet.
2
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized, 1-inch cubes.
3
Slice the jalapeños into rounds. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds.
4
Take a piece of chicken, top it with a slice of jalapeño, and wrap it with half a slice of bacon.
5
Place the wrapped chicken bites on the wire rack.
6
Season the bites generously on all sides with your favorite BBQ rub.
7
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy.
8
For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes on each side at the end of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
