Bacon Wrapped Chipotle Chicken Thighs

The first time I made this recipe I did not render the bacon.  I found that the chicken was greasy and the bacon was not crispy by the time the chicken was done.


Ingredients

1tsp Chipotle Powder
1tsp Smoked Paprika
1tsp Onion Powder
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
4 skinless chicken thighs
8 slices of bacon

Combine all the spices and the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag and marinate for 1 to 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees
In a sauté pan over medium heat render the bacon for a few minutes.  Make sure the bacon is not cooked all the way through.  Let Bacon cool enough to handle.

Wrap each chicken thigh with 2 slices of bacon.  Place on a wire wrack over a sheet pan.

Bake 40 minutes or until chicken registered 160 degrees.
