BBQ bacon wrapped chicken tenders BBQ bacon wrapped chicken tenders
My son loves chicken tenders, and I wanted less mess than frying. He's such a picky eater that I combined one of his favorites, bacon, with the tenders and he loves them. They are a great finger food, perfect for appetizers. I use them as an entree usually paired with corn on the cob and some version of cole slaw. alley927cat -
