Bacon Wrapped Chicken Thighs

Never met a chicken thigh I didn't like!

Bacon Wrapped Chicken Thighs

1 tsp onion powder
2 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme, or 1/2 tsp dried
4 (1/4lb) skinless boneless chicken thighs
4 slices bacon
Combine onion powder, soy sauce, and thyme in a zip close plastic bag; add the chicken.
Squeeze out the air and seal the bag; turn to coat chicken. Refrigerate, turning the bag occasionally, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
Spray the grill rack with non-stick spray; prepare the grill for a medium-hot fire using the direct method.
Lift the chicken for the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade. Wrap each chicken thigh with 1 slice of bacon. Place on the grill rack, cover the grill, and grill until the bacon is crisp and the chicken is cooked through, 6-7 minutes on each side.
