Oven Baked Bacon And Banana Chicken Recipes

BACON ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Rub butter over the entire chicken. Season with salt, pepper and thyme. Place the carrots inside the cavity, and tie the legs together. Place the chicken breast side up in a roasting pan. Lay bacon strips across the top of the chicken, and secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle with paprika. Pour the beef broth into the roasting pan - do not pour over the bacon.
• Roast for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, the reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Baste with some of the broth. Continue to roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) when taken in the thickest part of the thigh. Baste every 15 minutes with the broth.
• Remove the bacon and discard toothpicks. Roast the chicken for 15 more minutes to brown the skin. Transfer to a serving platter, and remove the ties. You may eat the bacon, but it is best to discard the carrots.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, pepper, salt, and onion powder together in a small bowl. Rub 1/2 of the spice mix over chicken breasts.

• Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crispy and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

OVEN BAKED CHICKEN WITH BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat a large ovenproof Dutch oven over medium high heat. Cut the bacon slices into small pieces and fry until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the flavourful bacon grease in the pan. Turn off the pan until you are ready to fry the chicken.
• Pour the flour onto a plate or wide bowl, mix in salt, pepper, and herbes de Provence. Remove the fillet from the breast pieces, and cut the breast itself in half. Coat the chicken with flour and spices. Turn back on the pan, and fry the chicken for a few brief minutes on each side, just until lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
• Chop the onion. Add olive oil to pan, and cook chopped onions for for 5-10 minutes, until browned and translucent. Add the wine slowly, stirring to get all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. THey're the best part of the flavour! Add the chicken stock and let everything cook until it reduces slightly, about 5-10 minutes.
• Add the chicken pieces, and bacon back into the pan and bake in the oven for 40 minutes, turning chicken pieces half way through cooking.
• Remove from oven, and serve over rice, or with mashed potatoes.
