I had a bridle like you are describing. I had a splice that formed a "Y" just before the chain hook (in my case a Mantus hook). The splice started coming apart after about 250 days at anchor (one year in my case) and a few +40-50 kt blows.

A better option is to have 2 independent lines with eye splices and thimbles joined at the hook with a shackle. Much stronger than a Y splice.
