Sweet and Spicy Bacon Wrapped Chicken

This is a really, really good appetizer served with toothpicks.  It's not overly expensive to make especially if you take advantage of your store's sale items. Originally I saw the recipe on Paula Deane's show on the Food Network. I have made them a few times and they are a huge hit.

• Boneless skinless chicken breasts
• Bacon
• Cooking Spray

In a bowl combine these ingredients:

• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 2 tbsp. chili powder
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper

1. Take the boneless skinless chicken breasts and cut into bite sized pieces (about 1/2" thick)
2. Bacon - slice and wrap around each piece of chicken then roll in the brown sugar mixture.
3. Place the pieces on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
4. Preheat the oven to 350°. Bake until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is done. About 20-30 minutes.

The video is actually Paula making these with her sons. I hope you try these. My additional ingredient was the cayenne pepper and I ramped up on the brown sugar, probably because we were making quite a few of these. We liked just that little bit of extra heat that the cayenne pepper gave.
