Honey mustard bacon wrapped chicken bites are a simple, four-ingredient appetizer that's perfect for parties, snacking, and football parties. They're easy to assemble and crowd-pleasing!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil and place an oven-safe cooling rack on top. This helps drain and catch grease from your bites as they bake. Set aside.
Slice chicken into bite size cubes, about 1" in size. Slice bacon into thirds.
Add honey mustard down the middle of each bacon slice, then lay a chicken cube at one end of the bacon. Lightly season chicken with pepper, then wrap your chicken in the bacon, securing with a toothpick. Place bites onto prepared baking sheet with cooling rack.
Bake for about 17-18 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through in the center (your bacon won't look crispy yet). Test with a meat thermometer - chicken is done at 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Turn off the oven and turn on the broiler. Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until tops of your bites are crispy and lightly browned. Do not take your eyes off your bites because the broiler can burn food quickly.
Remove from oven and carefully turn each bite over. Return to the oven and broil for another 1-2 minutes, or until second side is lightly browned and crispy.
Remove from oven and serve warm. Optionally, serve with more honey mustard as a dipping sauce.
Notes
Honey mustard can be substituted with yellow or dijon mustard, or omitted entirely.
Broiling steps are based on how crunchy and cooked your bacon looks. If your bacon is already cooked through and crunchy, broiling step can be skipped.
If you're concerned about toothpicks burning in the oven, soak them in water for 20 minutes before assembling your bites. The added moisture helps prevent the wood from burning in the oven.
