Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Ingredients

  • 8 medium chicken thighs boneless skinless used
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.Season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme.

  • Take each chicken thigh and wrap it with 2 slices of bacon. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with any remaining seasoning. Carefully transfer the chicken thighs to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
    Raw bacon-wrapped chicken thighs rest on a white plate, ready for cooking.
  • Flip the chicken and continue baking an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (at 165F.) and the bacon is crispy.
    Bacon-wrapped chicken thighs perfectly arranged on a baking sheet, each piece boasting irresistibly crispy edges.
  • * If crispier bacon is desired and the chicken is cooked through, turn on the oven broiler and broil for 5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • Serve hot with your favorite vegetables, rice, or salad.

Notes

What color should chicken thighs be when cooked

Interior meat should light brown or white with pinkish-brown tones, depending on whether it's bone-in or boneless and how it's cooked. Juices should run clear, not pink or red with an internal temperature of 165F or higher.
