Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
In a medium bowl, combine garlic powder, sweet paprika, fine salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir until well blended.
Coat both sides of the chicken thighs generously with the spice mixture, ensuring the flavors are absorbed.
Wrap each seasoned thigh tightly with a slice of bacon, avoiding overlaps.
Place the bacon-wrapped thighs seam-side down on a rimmed baking sheet, optionally using a wire rack.
Lightly brush the top of each bacon-wrapped thigh with olive oil.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) and bacon is crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the thighs rest for a few minutes before serving.
