INGREDIENTS
10 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
10-12 slices bacon — (usually 1 slice per chicken thigh, but you may need more, if they are bigger)
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
juice from two oranges
1 teaspoon corn starch dissolved in two tablespoons water
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350℉/ 180℃.
In a small bowl mix together the honey, orange juice and olive oil. Set aside.
Season the chicken thighs with the seasoning.
Wrap each thigh in bacon. One slice of bacon will be enough for one small chicken thigh.
Arrange chicken and red pepper in the baking dish, pour orange juice mix over the chicken and bake for about 45 minutes.
Strain the broth from roasting pan. Transfer the broth to a small saucepan and boil in medium high heat. When the broth starts to boil, pour in the dissolved cornstarch. When gravy starts to become thick, take off the stove.
Serve the chicken with gravy and with homemade creamy mashed potatoes or crispy roast potatoes or with any side dish of your choice.
