The preparation

3 steps, about 35 minutes start to finish.

01
Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized chunks.
02
Wrap each chunk with a piece of bacon.
03
Cook in a pan with schmaltz over low and slow heat for 15-20 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

lightbulb The chef's notes

“Cook these low and slow so the bacon renders and crisps at the same pace the chicken cooks through. Take them to 165F inside, where thighs stay juicy even if you go slightly past.”
