This bacon-wrapped drumstick and chicken thigh recipe pairs perfectly with baby Dutch yellow potatoes, roasted with onions and herbs, for a very delicious and simple dinner. We love dark meat, but you can use breasts if your prefer. My husband loves it.

Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs
- 6 chicken drumsticks
- 12 slices center-cut bacon
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 ½ pounds baby Dutch yellow potatoes
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Wrap each chicken piece in a slice of bacon, trying to cover as much chicken as possible. Place wrapped chicken pieces in a 9×13-inch baking dish, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle onion over chicken. Push potatoes down into the spaces between chicken pieces and around the edge of the dish.
- Combine chives, basil, garlic powder, adobo seasoning, and black pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle seasoning to taste over chicken and potatoes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, until bacon is crisp and brown and potatoes are tender. Sprinkle with salt, if desired, and serve hot.
