Ready in under 30 minutes, you’ll want to add these bacon wrapped chicken thighs to your weeknight dinner rotation. Flavoured with a delicious sweet and savoury rub using brown sugar and paprika, this is a kid-friendly dinner.
Preheat oven to 425F. In a 9x13 casserole dish, place chicken thighs and drape each piece of chicken with a piece of bacon, diagonally like a sash. Tuck the edges underneath the chicken.
In a small bowl, stir brown sugar with paprika, oregano, garlic powder and salt. Sprinkle mixture overtop of chicken.
Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes until bacon is cooked and chicken reaches 165F with an instant-read thermometer.
Notes
A 9×13 casserole dish helps to keep the chicken juicy and stops the sugar from burning (hello, easy cleanup!). The final dish will also have delicious juices that you can serve overtop.
If you like spice, you can add ¼ teaspoon to ½ teaspoon of cayenne to the rub.
