I just love this finger food for watching TV games or at a gathering. This is a spiced-up version of another recipe that was given to me.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Sweet, savory, smoky, and salty, these chicken bites are jam-packed with flavor. After being baked, the bacon wrapped around moist pieces of chicken breast is crispy. The bacon is coated in a mixture of wing sauce, brown sugar, and chili powder that's simply marvelous. We could not stop eating these. They're almost like candied chicken. You could probably use chicken thighs in this recipe too. Sporty Snack Showdown Contest Runner-Up!
