This went over very well for our office Christmas party today. It is so good, sweet, spicy...yum! Definitely assemble the night before....let them marinate.

Nice little bites. I pre-cooked the bacon a bit before wrapping the chicken pieces. Made for PAC Spring '09. :)

These were really a hit at a recent appetizer / finger food party. The bacon wrapped smokies or water chestnuts are always popular, and this was a great alternative. The spice on the bacon was perfect. I wrapped and dredged these the night before and baked just before the party. I did have to increase the baking time to almost double in order to crisp the bacon. I worried that the chicken would be dry, but it was still moist and flavorful.
