Ingredients
- 6 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 12 slices Turkey bacon
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 bottle Olive oil cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a spice rub.
Step 3
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This step is important for achieving a good texture.
Step 4
Evenly sprinkle the spice rub on both sides of each chicken thigh, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 5
Wrap each chicken thigh with 2 slices of turkey bacon, slightly overlapping the bacon to secure it, and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Once all thighs are wrapped, lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray to enhance crispiness while maintaining a low-fat count.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 8
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute and to enhance flavor.
Step 9
Serve these bacon-wrapped chicken thighs with your favorite low-calorie side dish, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
