Ingredients

  • 8 chicken thighs skinless and boneless
  • 8 bacon slices
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon fine salt
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 200c.
  2. In a small dish or bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
  3. Sprinkle spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs.
  4. Take a slice of bacon and wrap it tightly around a thigh fillet without overlapping, then repeat with remaining thighs.
  5. Place the wrapped thighs on a rimmed baking sheet, seam side down.
  6. Brush lightly with olive oil.
  7. 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.
