Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat 4 skin-on chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly.
  2. Step 2: Wrap each chicken thigh tightly with 1 strip of bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, mix 4 tbsp unsalted butter with 4 cloves minced garlic and 2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary until well combined.
  4. Step 4: Place the bacon-wrapped chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Spread the garlic-rosemary butter evenly over the top of each thigh.
  5. Step 5: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, basting once halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the chicken's internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with your favorite keto-friendly sides.
