Bacon Wrapped Roasted Chicken
Report
This chicken is loaded with great flavor! As it roasts, it's slowly basted in the butter and bacon fat, giving it a ton of flavor, and making it so moist and juicy!

Ingredients
- 1 chicken 5-6 pounds, whole
- 13 lices uncured bacon raw
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup sugar free
- ⅓ cup butter softened, grass-fed
- ¼ cup mascarpone cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons rosemary chopped, fresh
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
Optional: ½ onion and extra sprigs of rosemary for stuffing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Mix the butter, rosemary, pepper and maple syrup together. Stuff the cavity with ½ onion and sprig of rosemary Rub under the skin on each breast.
- Then tie up the legs using pitch twine. Pat the chicken dry and make the bacon weave, see instructions (link in recipe).
- Drape the bacon weave over the top and stretch it over to the sides. Flip the chicken over and secure the edges with toothpicks. Place in a roasting pan and pour the chicken stock in the pan.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165-170F with a meat thermometer. Remove the chicken from the pan and allow to rest for 10 minutes before cutting into it.
To Make the Sauce
- Pour the pan juices into a small saucepan and drain off some of the fat. Cook over medium heat and add in the mascarpone cheese, salt and pepper. Simmer for a few minutes, whisking to combine. Drizzle over the chicken and enjoy!
Notes
- This is not meant to be a thick gravy, just a thin sauce for extra flavor.
