Grilled Bacon Wrapped Chicken with Asian BBQ Sauce

8 chicken tenders
4 pieces of bacon, cut in 1/2

For BBQ Sauce:

1/2 cup hoisin sauce
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/2 tsp lemon zest
juice from 1/2 a lemon
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp cracked pepper

Wrap 1/2 a piece of bacon around each chicken tender. Combine all sauce ingredients and give it a good stir.


Place bacon wrapped chicken on a medium grill and cook until just about done. Baste both sides of chicken with BBQ sauce and continue to cook until done. This should cook for about 10 minutes or so on each side.

Place remaining sauce into a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil and cook for a couple of minutes (You'll probably want to add a bit of water to the sauce while it's cooking.) to kill any bacteria. Spoon over chicken. Serve with veggie of choice or a nice green salad with an Asian dressing.
