Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6.

  2. Lay a bacon rasher onto a board, and using the back of a knife, stretch the bacon out so that it’s thinner and half as long again. Repeat with the rest of the bacon.

  3. Lay the chicken thighs onto a board, the side up that the skin would have been on. Wrap each one in a piece of bacon, folding it around so the seam is on the bottom.

  4. Place onto the tray and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. Meanwhile, spoon the mayonnaise into a bowl, add the garlic, parsley, lemon zest and juice and plenty of black pepper and mix really well.

  6. Divide the chicken thighs, crisps and lettuce leaves between serving plates and serve with a dollop of garlic mayonnaise.
