Chicken/Shrimp Sriracha-cha-cha Bites

These are so ridiculously delicious I could lick the pan. No joke.

They are easy and great for a party or dinner. I know the ingredients are a little generic but you can figure those out depending on your particular taste and how much you are making.

Ingredients:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized chunks 
-or-
1 lb tail off shrimp
1 lime 
sriracha sauce
bacon
brown sugar

Directions:
1. In a gallon size zip lock bag mix chicken or shrimp, lime juice and enough sriracha sauce to cover all the chicken or shrimp. Mix and refrigerate overnight.
2. Cut bacon slices into fourths. I leave this in the package and cut it because it is easier.
3. Wrap bacon around each bite of chicken or shrimp.
4. Roll in brown sugar and lay in baking dish.
5. Bake at 350 until bacon is cooked to your desired crispiness.

Seriously, you're going to love these!!!!!
