As good as it sounds, I expect the bacon would overpower the flavor of the chicken. I ruined a pot of chicken soup once thinking it would benefit from some diced bacon.

I'd try it with a store-bought chicken that doesn't have much flavor to begin with before taking a chance on one that I'd raised and butchered.

With my birds I've quit marinating them or seasoning heavily because the flavor is so much better than storebought.

Hi DB

. I guess that is a possibility. I'm going to give it a shot anyway as I enjoy well seasoned foods. I'll be sure to post results, good OR bad

Well, the verdict is in and the bacon blanket was a big hit

. I did a light brine on him overnight, then got scared that it might taste too salty with the bacon, but in for a penny......in for a pound and it was tender and delicious. I didn't use any seasoning other than laying the bacon on it. It kind of tasted lightly smoked. This is all that's left and I think it will be all gone after we have lunch tomorrow.

I definitely recommend trying this with skinned birds, nice flavor and quite juicy
