Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 12 pieces bacon slices
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 pieces toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. You should get about 12 pieces per breast.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 4

While the chicken marinates, soak the toothpicks in water for about 15-20 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.

Step 5

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Cut the bacon slices in half. Wrap each marinated chicken cube with a half slice of bacon and secure it with a soaked toothpick.

Step 7

Once the grill is ready, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the bacon-wrapped chicken on the grill. Cook for approximately 6-8 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the Grilled Chicken Kisses from the grill and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately as an appetizer or pair with your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor!
