Instructions:

Preheat the grill or oven to 175 degrees C (350 degrees F).

In a mixing bowl, combine onion powder, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.

Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken tenders, rubbing each piece to ensure even coating.

Wrap each chicken tender with a strip of bacon, sealing the sides.

In another mixing bowl, blend chili powder and brown sugar until well mixed.

Sprinkle the chili powder and brown sugar mixture over the wrapped chicken tenders, pressing to coat them thoroughly.

Place the wrapped tenders on the grill or in the preheated oven and cook for 30 minutes or until the bacon turns crispy.

Remove from the oven and let them rest at room temperature for a few minutes.

Serve warm and savor the delightful flavors!
