8 oz bone-in chicken thighs
4 slices smoked bacon
3 tbsp heavy cream
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place chicken thighs skin-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 3: Bake for 25-28 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and bacon is crisp.
Step 4: While chicken cooks, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 60 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5: Stir in heavy cream and thyme, then simmer for 3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 6: Drizzle sauce over chicken and serve immediately.
