Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the chicken bites cook evenly. If you don't have an oven, a toaster oven or air fryer can work but will require adjusting the time and temperature slightly.
Cut the chicken breasts into roughly 1-inch cubes. The goal is to make them bite-sized. Use a sharp knife, and be careful when cutting to avoid accidents.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. These seasonings will add a savory flavor to the chicken. For added flavor, a pinch of brown sugar can be mixed in, especially if you like a touch of sweetness.

Cut the bacon strips in half or thirds, depending on the size of your chicken cubes. This makes the bacon easier to wrap around the chicken. Raw bacon can be sticky so wash hands thoroughly after handling.
Wrap each chicken cube with a piece of bacon. Use a toothpick to secure the bacon if necessary. Make sure the bacon is wrapped snugly so it doesn't unravel during cooking.
Place the bacon-wrapped chicken bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will help with cleanup and prevent sticking. If you don't have parchment paper, a lightly oiled baking sheet will also work.
Optional: lightly brush the wrapped chicken with a touch of BBQ sauce before baking for extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to check if you have one. If you are using an air fryer, reduce the baking time to 12-15 minutes at 380°F (190°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken bites cool slightly before serving. Be careful as the baking tray and chicken will be very hot.
