A simple recipe anyone can make ... Bacon Wrapped Chicken Thighs!

Sometimes, the most delicious meals are the easiest to make! Simple ingredients, simple processes, yield incredible results. Combining boneless, skinless chicken thighs with two parts REAL maple syrup, one part dijon mustard, marinating overnight, then wrapping in applewood smoked bacon makes a wonderful dinner. The wrapped thighs are lightly browned in pan on the stove, just until the bacon begins to color, turning occasionally. Once browned, place in a 350 degree oven and cook until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees, about 20 minutes.

If you have yet to discover the wonders of chicken thighs (versus plain old chicken breasts) I encourage you to try this recipe. The chicken thighs cook up moist and flavorful on their own, and adding the syrup and mustard creates the right amount of sweet and spice. Of course, wrapping anything in bacon makes anything taste great!
