Recipe Tips & Tricks

  • For crispier bacon, place under the broiler for a few minutes.
  • One slice of bacon will fit around different sizes of chicken thighs differently. Some will seem very large, others will barely wrap around. It’s fine, don’t worry about it.
  • I baked my chicken in the oven on the baking sheet, then transferred it to the skillet for the pictures. You can cook your chicken on either pan.
  • You can use bone-in chicken thighs, but your cooking time will be longer by at least 10 minutes.
