Bacon Wrapped Chicken (Rachel Ray show)

By á-47

Leftovers are great for chicken sandwiches or salad.

Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken, skinned and cut into pieces (save wings for chicken stock)
• 1 Fresno Red Pepper, seeded, deveined and chopped
• 4 large cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 sprigs rosemary, stripped and chopped
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• salt and pepper
• bacon strips - enough for 1 strip per piece of chicken
• whole bay leaves - enough for 1 per piece of chicken

Preparation

Step 1

Mix all the marinade ingredients and marinade chicken pieces overnight.

Place a cooling rack over a baking sheet so heat can circulate.

Put one bay leaf on each piece of chicken. Wrap each piece of chicken with1 strip of bacon (it won't cover the entire piece - bay leaf will hang out)

Bake in oven at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until bacon is crisp and chicken cooked through.
