Tender chicken wrapped in bacon and coated in a blend of spices bakes in brown sugar which caramelizes when it cooks.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ poundsboneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 6thin bacon slices (divided)
  • 1 tablespoonchili powder
  • 1 teaspoonpaprika
  • ½ teaspoongarlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cupbrown sugar (divided)
  • chopped parsley, (optional for garnish)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl mix 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Roll 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs into the spice mixture.

  4. 4

    Wrap each chicken piece in a slice of bacon and place in a 10-inch skillet or a 13x 9 x 2-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the tops with brown sugar and salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Bake for 30-35 minutes or until chicken reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit and is no longer pink. I like to broil the tops of my chicken for 1-2 minutes to crisp the bacon at the end. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
