PALEO BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN STRIPS
It's no secret....I really love bacon. I love it by itself or on pretty much anything. So I do enjoy finding ways to incorporate bacon into any meal. This is one of those simple recipes that you can keep on hand for when you have had a crazy day and need to throw something together fairly quickly. I usually have these ingredients around and it's a big hit with both kids and adults.
You can use any sort of sauce you like on them such as buffalo sauce or a sweet and sour sauce. For this recipe used a honey mustard sauce that is both sweet and a little spicy. Add a couple dashes of cayenne for an extra kick if you are feeling frisky.
Serve these with a side of vegetables or a salad and you have a quick and easy meal that everyone will love. Or make them as an appetizer and watch everyone scarf them down. .
