How to Make Bacon Wrapped Chicken Nuggets

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Cut 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 24 bite-sized cubes.
  3. Wrap each chicken cube with 1/2 slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
  4. In a large zip-top bag, whisk together 1/4 cup marmalade, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  5. Add the bacon-wrapped chicken nuggets to the bag, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade.
  6. Seal the bag, refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, turning occasionally.
  7. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  8. Arrange the chicken nuggets on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
  10. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
