Mix Coating: In a bowl, combine brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken tender into the bacon grease, then coat with the brown sugar mixture.
Add Bacon: After coating, sprinkle the crispy bacon pieces over the chicken tenders.
Bake: Place the chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is caramelized.
Serve: Let them cool slightly, then garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm!
