You know the saying "Tastes like chicken"? Well....chicken doesn't honestly taste all that special, so what we really should have is a better saying like "Tastes like BACON"! Bacon is special, bacon is also the chocolate of meat. What better then to wrap really good bacon on some plain chicken thighs. You can use any cut of chicken, but we prefer chicken thighs as they are more tender and smaller, so there's more bacon to chicken ratio. We also prefer PC thick cut bacon, it's the best out there, and it makes EVERYTHING taste like bacon...and you can't go wrong there.
