Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs
- 12 slices Bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme.
Rub each chicken thigh with olive oil and then evenly distribute the spice mix over each thigh, ensuring they are well coated.
Take two strips of bacon per chicken thigh. Wrap each thigh with the bacon strips, ensuring they are tightly wrapped around the chicken.
Place the bacon-wrapped chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet seam-side down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the bacon is crispy.
Halfway through cooking, baste the chicken with the rendered bacon juices for extra flavor.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the thighs rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!
