Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Vegan chicken thighs
- 1 cup Coconut bacon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, fresh rosemary (chopped), lemon juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Mix well to create a marinade.
Place the vegan chicken thighs in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the thighs are well coated and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Spread the coconut bacon evenly on a separate baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 5 minutes. Remove it from the oven and set it aside.
After marinating, wrap each chicken thigh with a layer of coconut bacon, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the wrapped chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges of the coconut bacon are crispy and the vegan chicken is cooked through.
Allow the vegan bacon-wrapped chicken thighs to cool slightly before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with a sprig of fresh rosemary or a slice of lemon, if desired.
