Step 1

Preheat oven to 400° F and line a large backing sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place chicken in a medium-sized bowl; sprinkle with chili powder, salt, paprika, garlic powder and toss to coat. Wrap a bacon piece around each chicken cube; secure with a toothpick. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Step 3

Sprinkle bacon wrapped chicken with brown sugar. Place into oven and bake for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Remove pan from oven, brush wrapped chicken piece with BBQ sauce. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until chicken is no longer pink and bacon is crisp. (if you want them extra crispy, broil for 5-8 minutes, watching closely)

Step 5

Serve immediately, garnish with chives, if desired.
