ANDOUILLE STUFFED BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN
And…. Here it is! The Ultimate Deliciousness. This can be done in the IP Duo Crisp as well.
Andouille stuffed, Bacon Wrapped, Skin on Chicken Thighs, with
PIP Black eEyed Peas and Brown Rice Medley.
You will need to choose how many you want to do and use equal amounts of each of the following.
INGREDIENTS FOR THE CHICKEN:
Chicken Thighs. Skin on, I used Bone in but you can use De boned. You can also use Boneless, Skinless but it won’t be quite the same.
Andouille Sausage
Bacon.
Mrs Dash Onion and Herb.
Slap Ya Mama seasoning or Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning
Evoo for Spritzing
This can also be done in the regular Convection Oven, Instant Pot With Air Fryer Lid, or an Air Fryer ….. If you choose to Bake it this way, Pre heat the Oven. 375°. The cook Time may very at the end.
DIRECTIONS FOR THE CHICKEN:
I deboned and kind of butterflied the Thighs by slicing half way in to the thick part from the inside and unfold it out flat, then wrap it around an Andouille Sausage, then wrap 1 piece of Bacon around it all.
Tuck the Bacon in under itself to hold everything together and set onto a Cookie Sheet or on a Baking Rack in a shallow Pan sprayed with Baking Spray.
Put the tucked in seam side of of the Bacon down.
Spritz the Chicken and Bacon with EVOO and Season with Mrs Dash Onion and Herb on one side, lift the wrapped Chicken pieces one at a time and Sprinkle Slap Ya Mamma Seasoning on the other side, then set it back down onto its seam side.
To Bake in an Oven, Cover with the flexible washable oven liner, ( to prevent splattering). You won’t do this for an Air Fryer.
If your using a counter top Oven no need to Preheat but if your using a regular Oven you should Preheat it now.
Put it into the Oven set at 375°
Set the time for 30.

Stir a little to settle the mix in the Pot
Add a Lotus steamer right into the Rice/Quinoa and Water. See pics.

Fit Bowl or Container of Peas in the Pot, on top of the Lotus Steamer, or the Long legged Trivet. See pic.
