Ingredients
  

Chicken and Bacon
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces Choose firm, pale-pink breasts.
  • 8 slices of bacon, cut in half (16 halves) Thick-cut for more chew or standard-cut for crispiness.
Marinade
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce Use a high-quality teriyaki sauce or make your own.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Helps teriyaki cling and keeps chicken moist.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Bacon adds salt; use lightly.
Others
  • as needed Toothpicks for securing Soak toothpicks in water to prevent burning.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with teriyaki sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper until coated.
  3. Take a piece of chicken and wrap it securely with half a slice of bacon, using a toothpick to hold it together.
  4. Place the wrapped chicken bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced apart for air circulation.
Baking
  1. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
  2. Serve warm and enjoy as finger food.

Notes

Tip: Brush a little extra teriyaki on during the last 2–3 minutes of baking for extra gloss. Be cautious of overcooking the bacon.
