Roast chicken wrapped in maple cured bacon

I love my job, I really do but there are some days when, dreaming of world domination, I wish I could tell my daffy clients to go stick it where the sun don’t shine…. today for instance i’ve been searching for a venue that I know doesn’t exist yet I go on searching, desperately trying to please the client… and the numb-skulls that work at these places… for goodness sake!…  WHY don’t you know the capacity or ceiling height?!?! What is it you fucking do then?

… where’s my cookbook and little shop selling fabulous things i’ve created in the kitchen?

… calm down… breath… well, dear reader, tonight for dinner we are having chicken thighs, smothered in cream-cheese and freshly torn basil and then wrapped in a wonderous maple-cured bacon that is wafting the most mouth-watering smells up through the house…

always on the search for something different to do with my beloved chicken thighs (so cheap and so tasty) I stumbled across this in one of those free-bee cookbooks that you get with coupons and this one was from Philadelphia Cream Cheese…. i’ve even done a veggie version for The Big V using Quorn sausages, smeared in the cream cheese and  wrapped in veggie bacon, although Lord knows what it’ll taste like!  I think The Big V is getting a little fed up of me messing with his food…

… I don’t think I need to explain how to make them (smother thighs in cream cheese and basil, s and p and then wrap in bacon… roast for at least an hour) but there you go.

happier boy now

eat and of course, enjoy!
