Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Wrap each chicken thigh tightly with 2 strips of bacon, ensuring full coverage, and place seam side down in a baking dish.
  3. Step 3: Bake for 25 minutes until bacon crisps and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, melt 4 tbsp butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, cooking for 2 minutes until fragrant and butter is infused.
  5. Step 5: Remove chicken from oven, spoon the garlic butter sauce evenly over the bacon-wrapped thighs, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
