- 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken drumettes dry with paper towels. Season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Wrap with Bacon: Take a half slice of bacon and wrap it around each drumette, starting from the thicker end. Secure the bacon with a toothpick if necessary and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Mix the BBQ Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the BBQ sauce and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Glaze the Chicken: Brush the wrapped chicken with the BBQ glaze, making sure to coat them well.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through, basting with additional glaze halfway through the cooking time.
- Serve: Once done, remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
