Ingredients

1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
6-8 slices bacon, divided
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup brown sugar, divided
chopped parsley, optional for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a small bowl mix 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder in a bowl.
Roll 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs into the spice mixture.
Wrap each chicken piece in a slice of bacon and place in a 10-inch skillet or a 13x 9 x 2-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the tops with brown sugar and salt and pepper to taste.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until chicken reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit and is no longer pink. I like to broil the tops of my chicken for 1-2 minutes to crisp the bacon at the end. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Notes

*You can also use tenders, I just like being able to wrap the bacon completely around the chicken.
