Ingredients
  

  • 6 small Chicken Thighs
  • 6 slices Bacon
  • 3 medium Jalapenos De-seed if you aren't a fan of spicy
  • 12 oz. Cream Cheese
  • ¼ cup Mayonnaise
  • 4 oz. Shredded Cheddar
  • 2 oz. Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • ¼ cup Frank's Red Hot
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste

  • De-bone all chicken thighs and pre-heat oven to 400F. Season chicken thighs well with salt and pepper, then lay on a cooling rack over a cookie sheet wrapped in foil. Bake chicken thighs for 40 minutes at 400F.
  • Once your timer hits 20 minutes, start on the filling. Chop 6 slices of bacon into pieces and put into a pan over medium heat. Once bacon is mostly crisped, add jalapenos into the pan.
  • Once jalapenos are soft and cooked, add cream cheese, mayo, and frank's red hot to the pan. Mix together and season to taste.
  • Remove chicken from the oven and let cool slightly. Once they are cool enough, remove the skins from the chicken.
  • Lay chicken into a casserole dish, then spread cream cheese mixture over it, then top with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes at 400F. Broil for 3-5 minutes to finish. Optional: Top with extra jalapenos before you broil.
