Bacon wrapped Chicken Thighs
Bacon-wrapped chicken thighs are a simple yet delicious meal that combines crispy, smoky bacon with tender, juicy chicken. The bacon helps keep the chicken moist while adding rich flavor, and a touch of seasoning brings out the best in both.
Ingredients :
- 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions :
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry and rub the seasoning mix evenly over each piece.
- Wrap each chicken thigh with two slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed.
- Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Drizzle with olive oil and brush with honey for a slightly sweet glaze.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
