Ingredients
  

  • 6 bone in skin on chicken thighs about 2 lbs
  • 12 slices thick cut bacon
  • 3 tbsp sugar free maple syrup monk fruit based
  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

  1. **Preheat.** Heat oven to 400F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
  2. **Pre bake bacon.** Lay bacon in a single layer on the sheet pan. Bake 5 minutes just to firm it up.
  3. **Season.** Pat chicken dry. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  4. **Wrap.** Wrap each thigh with 2 slices of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
  5. **Glaze.** Whisk sugar free maple syrup, dijon, apple cider vinegar, and grated garlic.
  6. **Roast.** Brush with half the glaze. Bake 30 to 35 minutes until internal temp reaches 165F. Brush with remaining glaze in the last 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley.

Notes

Pre bake the bacon for 5 minutes to prevent greasy chicken. Use thick cut bacon. Thin bacon tears when wrapping. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
