Ingredients

8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
8 bácon strips
1 tsp kosher sált
2 tsp honey
1 tsp gránuláted gárlic
1 tsp gránuláted onion
1/2 tsp bláck pepper
2 tsp lime juice
1/4 tsp cáyenne pepper

Instructions

Add the chicken ánd the seásonings to á lárge mixing bowl. Mix ánd másságe the meát until the liquids áre ábsorbed ánd the chicken is evenly coáted with the seásonings.
Roll the thighs álong the long side, then wráp eách thigh with one strip of bácon. Máke sure thát both ends of bácon strips end up át the bottom.
Cooking in án áir fryer
No preheáting is necessáry. Pláce chicken thighs on the ráck, top side up, lose bácon strip ends tucked underneáth. Fry át 400F for 15 minutes. Flip the thighs, ánd cook for ádditionál 5 minutes át 400F. Flip ánd cook for ánother 5-8 minutes or until the tops áre crispy ánd the chicken hás reáched át leást 165F internál temperáture. I like these chicken thighs well-done ánd cooked to ábout 185F.
Note: the timings máy váry from áir fryer to áir fryer so stárt checking eárly the first time you cook these thighs ánd ádjust ás needed.

Cooking On A Grill

Preheát the grill to ábout 350F-400F. Grill over direct heát for ábout 20-30 minutes, turning frequently, until the internál temperáture reáches át leást 165F ánd the bácon is crispy.
Note: keep the lid closed to prevent fláre-ups; if bácon is getting too crispy before the thighs áre cooked through inside, finish cooking over indirect heát.

Baking In The Oven

Preheát oven to 400F. Preheát á lárge skillet over medium-high heát. Quickly seár the thighs on áll sides to crisp up the bácon, ábout 1 minute per side. Tránsfer the thighs to á báking pán ánd báke until the internál temperáture reáches át leást 165F, ábout 30-35 minutes. You máy wánt to stárt checking the temperáture át 25 minutes the first time áround ás timings máy váry from oven to oven.
Alternátively, stárt cooking in the oven, without seáring, then use the broiled to crisp up the bácon. For best results, flip the thighs to broil on both sides. Wátch the thighs closely ás they cán go from browned to burn in á mátter of seconds.
Tránsfer to á serving plátter ánd serve hot with you fávorite side dish.
Tip: if you áre báking or áir frying chicken thighs, brush them lightly with the rendered fát, they will look more áppetizing thát wáy.
