This easy chicken dinner calls for just 4 ingredients, plus salt and pepper.  Dredge juicy chicken thighs in seasoned cornmeal, wrap in bacon strips, and bake for a super simple weeknight dinner that's nearly hands-free.
Ingredients:
8 bacon slices
8 skinned and boned chicken thighs
1 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
1. Arrange bacon slices on paper towels on a microwave-safe plate in microwave oven. Top with paper towel. Microwave at HIGH 30 seconds to 1 minute or just until bacon is limp and heated through. (Do not fully cook bacon.)
2. Wrap each chicken thigh with a piece of bacon; secure with a wooden pick, if desired.
3. Combine cornmeal and next 3 ingredients in a bowl. Dredge chicken in cornmeal mixture. Arrange on a wire rack coated with cooking spray in a lightly greased broiler or roasting pan.
4. Bake at 350º for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until chicken is done.
5. *Cornmeal mix may be substituted for cornmeal.
