Bacon Wrapped Chicken Recipe

Print Recipe
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (6-8 pieces)
  • 1 lb bacon
  • garlic powder
  • paprika
  • salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Set out a 9x13 pan or similarly sized baking pan.
  3. Determine how many slices of bacon are in the package (usually 12-16). Cut the medium-sized chicken thighs into two pieces lengthwise and the larger thighs into three pieces so that you have the same number of chicken pieces as you have slices of bacon.
  4. Lay the pieces on the cutting board and sprinkle with all the spices, then flip them over and season the other side.
  5. Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat.
  6. While the skillet is heating, wrap each piece of chicken with a slice of bacon.
  7. Once the skillet is hot, place the chicken pieces in the skillet in batches, cooking on each side for a couple of minutes until the bacon is browned. Place each piece in the baking pan with the side with the bacon ends on the bottom (so the chicken stays wrapped).
  8. Once all the chicken pieces have been browned, place them back in pan and cook in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the internal temperature equals 165 degrees.
