Bacon Wrapped Chicken

It’s that time of year again! We’re all putting our host/hostess hats on and smiles on our faces for the holiday parties. Let’s get real for a moment: the holidays can be a little bit stressful – yet oh-so-much-fun if you just make it work!

Part of making it work, in my book, is making simple, easy and still delicious recipes with quality products. Wouldn’t you agree? I mean parties are fun! Getting ready for them should be too!

Kickin’ Chicken Bites are just that and more – simple, easy, delicious! They come together quickly and are sure to impress everyone at your holiday party.

Plus, if you are a fan of a little spice in your life, these are your ticket! If you aren’t such a fan, just pass on the cayenne pepper and they will be sweeter from the brown sugar. I’m always looking out for people with weak tastebuds because I might just be one of those people!
