Recipe View 14 mins Grilling the Tenders: Place the bacon-wrapped chicken tenders on the preheated grill. Reduce heat to medium-low to prevent the bacon from burning before the chicken is cooked through. Close the grill lid and cook, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the bacon is browned and crispy, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This should take approximately 12-14 minutes. For extra crispy bacon, increase the heat during the last 2 minutes of cooking. (14 minutes)

Recipe View 3 mins Glaze and Serve: Move the grilled chicken tenders to an area of indirect heat on the grill. Brush generously with the honey mixture, ensuring each tender is evenly coated. Allow the glaze to caramelize for about 1 minute. Transfer to a serving plate and serve immediately. (3 minutes)

For optimal flavor, marinate the chicken tenders in the BBQ rub for at least 30 minutes before wrapping with bacon.
If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the BBQ rub or honey glaze.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked to a safe internal temperature.
Serve these grilled delights with a side of coleslaw, grilled corn, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
