FAQs About Bacon Wrapped Chicken

How do I get the bacon extra crispy?

After pan-searing, you can place the chicken under a high broiler for 1-2 minutes. Just watch it closely to avoid burning.

Can I bake this instead?

Yes! Wrap the chicken with bacon and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Add the chili cheese sauce just before serving.

Is this meal freezer-friendly?

You can freeze the cooked bacon-wrapped chicken without the sauce. Reheat in a skillet or oven, then top with freshly made sauce before serving.
