Candied Bacon Aioli is the perfect dipping partner for all of your game-day party appetizers!

Crispy Chicken Strips with Candied Bacon Aioli

My husband is a huge basketball fan, so playoff season is a BIG deal in our house! Every evening the television is turned on as he follows his favorite player and the hometown team on their run for glory.

We regularly host game-day watch parties, and of course that calls for appetizers. My husband is the chef in the family, so he has a reputation of creating crave-worthy party food.

For our most recent basketball game watch party, my husband created a gourmet twist on one of our favorite traditional arena food offerings: the chicken tender basket.

Chicken Tender Basket Essentials

Most importantly, you’ve got to start with premium chicken tenders!

Chicken Tender Basket Essential #1 — Tyson® Crispy Chicken Strips

We chose Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips because they have the perfect ratio of crispy breading to juicy chicken. Plus, they’re made with 100% all natural ingredients, all white meat chicken and contain no antibiotics.

You can find Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips in the frozen foods section at your local H-E-B (you might want to grab a couple bags because they’re sure to be a hit at your playoff watch party!)

Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips are definitely tasty enough to stand on their own, but who doesn’t love a flavorful dip to go with them?

Chicken Tender Basket Essential #2 — A Delectable Dip

We’re not talking about plain old ketchup here…not even honey mustard (my usual favorite). Nope!

My husband, who lives by the motto that bacon makes everything better, created this Candied Bacon Aioli to take our chicken tender basket to the next level. It’s classic arena food, elevated!

Keep reading for ingredients and step-by-step instructions to make this sweet and savory bacon aioli that pairs perfectly with your Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips!

To Make the Candied Bacon

Place bacon on prepared baking sheet and coat with 1/2 cup brown sugar. Bake for 20 minutes at 375°F until edges are crisp and brown.

Remove bacon from oven and allow to cool completely. Once cool, break candied bacon strips into small pieces and set aside.

To Make the Aioli

Add egg yolks to food processor with minced garlic and salt. Mix until well combined.

Slowly add oil to food processor, pulsing as you go, until your mixture thickens (about 2 minutes).

Stir half of your bacon crumbles into the aioli, then scoop into a serving dish.

Top your finished aioli with remaining candied bacon and pair with Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips.

Candied Bacon Aioli is the perfect dipping partner for all of your game-day party appetizers!
