We had a few strips of bacon left from a pack and wanted to do something creative with them. We also had a whole chicken we were planning to rotisserie, but the weather took a turn so using the grill wasn't an option.
Solution: Bacon Roasted Chicken!
We didn't follow the seasoning elements of this recipes. We marinated our bird in our favorite Noble Made Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce overnight, and didn't add any other spices or butter. We also used a bottle of beer instead of beef broth at the bottom of the roasting pan.
But the recipe did come in handy for some basic roasting-with-bacon guidelines:
- Lay the chicken breast-side up and lay the strips of bacon across like a blanket (use toothpicks to keep them in place.
- Roast at 450F for the first 15 minutes.
- Then lower to 350F for 1 hour 15 minutes.
- Finally, take the bacon off the top to allow the skin to brown for another 15 minutes (we also let the bacon roast a bit longer in a separate pan.)
The end result was super juicy and tasty! We served it on a bed of sauteed kale, carrots, and peas to balance out the savory bacon. Delish!
