    Bacon-Wrapped Chicken with Tamarind SaucePin

    This Bacon Wrapped Chicken with Tamarind Sauce recipe has been sitting on my computer waiting to be shared for a couple of months! I made it for dinner on a weekend back in November, and then it got buried in my drafts folder. I'm not sure how I let that happen but it's time to remedy the situation.

    I hope you enjoy making this recipe at your home, and find pleasure in the wonderful aromas and flavors this dish has to offer.

    Buen provecho!

      This looks very good. I have to start experimenting with tamarind. The bacon really makes it even more interesting 😀

      I love the flavors that tamarind brings but I don't like the effort needed to make the pulp myself. I've done it several times, but wish it was easier. The chicken sounds excellent!
