📝 Preparation Steps
1
Pre-heat the oven to 425˚F.
2
Cook the chopped bacon in a large sauté pan over medium heat until crispy. Remove the crisped bacon to a side plate, leaving at least 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pan.
3
Season the chicken thighs with salt and freshly ground black pepper and place them skin side down in the pan. Brown well on one side in the bacon fat over medium-high heat – about 8 to ⏱️ 10 minutes. Resist the urge to move them or check on the browning, but let them get very brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
