Instructions

Preheat oven to 200c.
In a small dish or bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
Sprinkle spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs.
Take a slice of bacon and wrap it tightly around a thigh fillet without overlapping, then repeat with remaining thighs.
Place the wrapped thighs on a rimmed baking sheet, seam side down.
Brush lightly with olive oil.
Bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Notes

*Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
The amount of spice mix is enough for 8 smaller-sized chicken thighs.
Wrap the pieces of bacon around the thighs as tightly as you can as the chicken will shrink slightly as it cooks.
You will notice in the process photos above that I have placed a rack in the middle of my rimmed baking sheet (sheet pan) then I lay the wrapped thighs on that. This means that any excess fat drains away, this is totally optional. I just use a cake cooling rack which fits perfectly!
When you place the wrapped thighs on the baking sheet, put them seam-side down - so that the ends of the bacon are tucked under the chicken. This just helps keep everything in place.
You could secure the bacon to the chicken with toothpicks if you like and remove them just before serving.
