Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 °F. Lightly grease an oven-safe skillet or baking dish and set it aside.
  • Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
    Raw pieces of chicken in a stainless steel mixing bowl on a light marble countertop.
  • Wrap a bacon slice around each thigh, covering it from end to end. Place them seam-side down in the dish to keep the bacon secure, ensuring the pieces are spaced apart and not touching.
    Six pieces of bacon-wrapped meat are arranged in a row on a rectangular white dish, placed on a light marble surface.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 °F. Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
    Six pieces of bacon-wrapped chicken are arranged in two rows inside a square baking dish on a light-colored surface.
  • Finish with parsley if you want a little color on top. Spoon over the pan juices before serving.

Notes

  • If you want crispier bacon, broil the chicken for about 5 minutes after baking.
Serve: Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, salad, or soup.
Store: Keep cooled chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days or in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven for 10 minutes, ensuring frozen portions thaw overnight in the fridge before warming.
