Bacon Wrapped Chicken
I apologise in advance to anyone who is trying to “be healthy” this week because chances are, your good intentions will be thrown out the window when you see this Bacon Wrapped Chicken!!! We all know that bacon makes (almost) everything better….I mean, what a way to dress up a humble piece of chicken… Seriously. Do you know any non-vegetarians who would turn down juicy chicken wrapped in gorgeous caramelised bacon???
No kitchen string. No toothpicks. Nothing fancy about this Bacon Wrapped Chicken at all. Simply coat the chicken in a simple seasoning (it really takes this to another level!), roll it up in bacon, dust with brown sugar and bake. That’s it!
I bake it in a hot oven to get the bacon as caramelised as possible without overcooking the chicken. But if you want the bacon even more golden, just crank up the broiler/grill after it finishes baking. The brown sugar on the bacon will make it brown really quickly. Then brush the juicy pan juices on the bacon to make it gorgeously glossy. Brush, brush, brush….don’t waste all that free flavour!!
Food like this is what I’m all about. Just the right combination of a few simple ingredients to make something really incredible. It’s the brown sugar that makes all the difference. The dusting of brown sugar on the bacon makes it beautifully caramelised, and creates extra pan juices that you can brush onto the chicken to make it glossy. And because I hate wasting free flavour, I scrape the tray clean to drizzle every bit of flavour I can onto the chicken. Serve it on mashed potato to soak up those extra juices. Look like a champ at dinner time. With SUCH LITTLE EFFORT. Hello there, Mr Bacon Wrapped Chicken. You need to get in my tummy. Right now! – Nagi x
