Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then place skin-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Wrap each chicken thigh with 2 bacon strips, securing with toothpicks if needed. Scatter halved asparagus and sliced garlic cloves around the chicken.
  3. Step 3: Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 25-30 minutes until bacon is crisp and chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally, flipping bacon-wrapped sides halfway through.
