Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, combine 4 tbsp softened unsalted butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to make garlic herb butter.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 4 bone-in chicken thighs with skin on, then rub 1 tbsp olive oil evenly over each piece. Wrap each chicken thigh with 1 slice of bacon, securing if needed.
  3. Step 3: Place the bacon-wrapped chicken thighs on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Spread 1 tbsp of the garlic herb butter evenly over the top of each thigh.
  4. Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the bacon is crispy and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste once halfway through with leftover garlic herb butter for extra flavor.
  5. Step 5: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring tender, flavorful chicken.
