Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the Seasoning<\/strong><br \/>\nIn a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Season the Chicken<\/strong><br \/>\nArrange the chicken tenders in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the brown sugar seasoning evenly over both sides of the chicken, gently pressing it onto the surface.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the Bacon<\/strong><br \/>\nSprinkle the cooked, crumbled bacon generously over the seasoned chicken tenders.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake<\/strong><br \/>\nPlace the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25\u201330 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C) and the bacon is crispy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve<\/strong><br \/>\nRemove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
