1
If your chicken tenders are thick, flatten them lightly using a meat mallet to a thickness of about a ¼ inch. This will make it easier to wrap around the mozzarella sticks.
2
Marinate the chicken tenders in 1 cup of BBQ sauce and leave it in the refrigerator for one hour.
3
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
4
Wrap each marinated chicken tender around a mozzarella cheese stick.
5
Then wrap a slice of thick-cut bacon firmly around the chicken, ensuring the chicken and cheese are fully encased.
6
Place the wrapped chicken sticks on a baking sheet with the bacon ends underneath to prevent unwrapping.
7
Bake your sticks for 20 minutes in the preheated oven.
8
After 20 minutes, remove from the oven and brush generously with the remaining BBQ sauce. Then flip the sticks and brush the other side as well.
9
Return to oven and bake for another 10 minutes or until they are crispy and fully cooked.
10
When cooked, remove from the oven and sprinkle them with the chopped parsley.
11
Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving, this will enable the cheese to set a bit.
12
Serve hot on their own or with a side dip of your choice.
