Ingredients
Method
- **Preheat.** Heat oven to 400F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
- **Pre bake bacon.** Lay bacon in a single layer on the sheet pan. Bake 5 minutes just to firm it up.
- **Season.** Pat chicken dry. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- **Wrap.** Wrap each thigh with 2 slices of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
- **Glaze.** Whisk sugar free maple syrup, dijon, apple cider vinegar, and grated garlic.
- **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.
