Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1/2 Tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/2 Tablespoon mustard powder
- 1/2 Tablespoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 6 slices sugar-free bacon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or use a cast iron skillet.
- Mix the garlic, mustard and chili powders with the salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the spice mixture over all sides of the chicken thighs.
- Wrap a slice of bacon around each chicken thigh.
- Rub remaining spice mixture on the bacon.
- Place in the oven and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until a thermometer reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- 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.
