Honey Soy Marinated Bacon Wrapped Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
Chicken and bacon
- 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs roughly the same size
- 6 slices uncooked bacon
Marinade
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation
Whisk together chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, ground ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and salt in a large bowl
Pat chicken dry with paper towels and place in the marinade for 20-30 minutes, flipping if necessary for even coverage; alternatively, marinate overnight by placing chicken and marinade in a resealable plastic bag and refrigerating up to 24 hours
Preheat oven to 400℉
Wrap each chicken thigh with a bacon slice, keeping the thighs flat by folding thinner parts under if necessary, and secure with toothpicks without overlapping the bacon
Place the bacon-wrapped chicken on a baking sheet and brush with any leftover marinade
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe pan over medium heat, arrange the chicken without overcrowding, and cook until bacon crisps, about 3 minutes per side
Pour remaining marinade around the chicken in the pan and bring to a boil, then turn off the heat, transfer the pan to the oven, and bake until chicken reaches 165℉, about 10 minutes; brush with any remaining sauce
Remove from oven, rest for 5 minutes, and serve hot
