Ingredients
4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 slices bacon
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with the ground black pepper.
Wrap each chicken thigh with one slice of bacon, starting from one end and wrapping around the thigh to cover as much surface as possible. Secure the bacon end with a toothpick if needed.
Place the wrapped chicken thighs seam-side down on a baking sheet or in a baking dish.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh, and the bacon is crispy and browned.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
