Chicken is a relatively inexpensive meal if you buy dark meat. White meat can be terribly expensive and unfortunately, not everyone is a fan of legs and thighs. This Chicken Thigh Roll recipe however, may change all of that.
Wrapped in bacon and stuffed with cheese, these chicken thighs may be the best thing you've ever eaten. They have chili flakes and cheddar stuffed right into the thigh, so you get deliciousness in every bite. I personally think they would make great game day finger foods, but you can use them for dinner as well.
The thighs are dipped in buttermilk, which helps to keep them moist and juicy and gives the chicken a wonderful flavor. Then when you add the chili flakes and cheddar – not to mention the bacon – you get a dish that is sure to please everyone at your table.
I'm not a fan of chicken thighs generally, but since they are much less expensive than breasts – and many other types of meat – I can't wait to try this recipe. It takes a bit to prep, mostly because you're marinating the chicken in buttermilk. After that, it only takes about half an hour to get them on the table. I'm sure everyone in the house will love them!
Chili flakes, seasonings, and cheddar make this chicken dish delicious.
Soak chicken in buttermilk to make it moist and tender.
Chili flakes and cheddar cheese sticks are stuffed right into the chicken.
Wrap in bacon for even more delicious flavor – plus the bacon seals in juices.
Crispy bacon gives it a wonderful color and makes it taste so good!
You get wonderful flavor in every single bite
