Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Season 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika evenly.
Step 2: Wrap each seasoned chicken thigh with 1 slice of bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed.
Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon-wrapped chicken thighs and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until bacon is lightly browned.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup and 2 tbsp Dijon mustard.
Step 5: Brush the maple mustard glaze generously over the chicken thighs.
Step 6: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and bacon is crispy.
Step 7: Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve with remaining glaze spooned on top.
