Instructions
Preheat the Grill
Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
Season the Chicken
Generously season the chicken tenderloins with your preferred seasoning rub, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.
Wrap in Bacon
Take each seasoned chicken tenderloin and wrap it tightly with a slice of bacon.
Use toothpicks to secure the bacon if needed.
Grill to Perfection
Place the bacon-wrapped tenderloins on the grill.
Grill for 5–6 minutes per side, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F / 75°C).
Add a Butter Finish
In the final minutes of grilling, brush each tenderloin with melted salted butter.
This adds rich, savory flavor and keeps the tenders moist and juicy.
Serve and Enjoy
Once done, remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh herbs or extra seasoning if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Tennessee Tenders!
