The Bacon Chicken
with Insanely Delicious Bacon Flavored Cabbage
Ingredients
1 whole chicken
10 (or more, depending on size) strips of thick cut nitrate-free bacon, cut in half
1 lemon
1 onion
1 sprig of rosemary
6 cloves of garlic
1 Tbsp salt
1/2 Teaspoon pepper
1/2 head of cabbage (about 4 cups), sliced
Instructions
- Halve the lemon and garlic cloves, quarter the onion (don’t worry about peeling)
- ♥ Pat the outside of the chicken dry with a towel
- ♥ Sprinkle salt and pepper inside the chicken cavity and over the skin
- ♥ Stuff cavity with the lemon, onion, garlic and rosemary
- ♥ Place bacon slices over entire exposed surface of chicken, wrapping evenly in a single layer – ensuring no chicken skin is left exposed (Kids LOVE doing this!) – if your bacon doesn’t stick then pat dry again and start over
- ♥ Spread sliced cabbage around bottom of a baking dish (no fat, no seasoning – trust us), set chicken on top of cabbage (a dutch oven or 12-14″ diameter cast iron pan works well)
- Roast uncovered at 400 degrees for 90 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, shake pan to stir cabbage every 20 minutes to prevent burning
