Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Wrap the Chicken: Wrap each chicken tender with a strip of bacon, covering as much of the chicken as possible. Place them in a baking pan with a bit of space between each piece.
Season the Chicken: Sprinkle the seasoning mixture generously over the bacon-wrapped chicken tenders. Make sure the spices coat both sides.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then serve warm.
Enjoy your delicious bacon-wrapped chicken tenders!
