Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup favorite BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 pounds chicken tenderloins or boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in half
  • 1 teaspoon BBQ seasoning
  • 1/2-1 lb bacon

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan over low heat, combine barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and onion powder. Simmer for 30 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, season the chicken with the BBQ seasoning and then wrap chicken breast with one to two slices bacon each. Set aside 3/4 cup sauce mixture. Brush remaining sauce mixture over chicken.
  • Place chicken on the grill not directly over flames to prevent flare-ups with a medium-high heat. Grill for 25-30 minutes, flipping twice until nearly done. Brush chicken well with reserved sauce mixture.
  • Cook until chicken juices run clear and sauce is caramelized. Always cook chicken to 165 degrees.
