Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- Turkey bacon
- BBQ sauce
- Garlic powder
- Smoked paprika
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil, placing a rack on top.
2. In a bowl, mix together the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Rub this seasoning blend evenly over the chicken thighs.
4. Wrap each thigh with a slice of turkey bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks if needed.
5. Generously coat the wrapped chicken with your favorite BBQ sauce.
6. Place the prepared chicken on the preheated baking sheet and let them bake for 30-35 minutes.
7. Once the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy, finish off with a quick broil for 2-3 minutes to really make that bacon shine.
8. Serve hot and enjoy the mouthwatering combination of flavors!
Notes
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
For extra crispy bacon, broil the chicken for a few minutes at the end of the cooking time, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Adjust the oven temperature or cooking time as needed to achieve your desired level of bacon crispiness.
Baste the chicken with additional BBQ sauce during the last 10 minutes of cooking for an extra layer of flavor.
