Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment or foil.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the sausage, parsley and minced onion. Divide into 8 equal portions and shape each into a log no longer than the length of the chicken where the bone was.

Step 3

Place chicken skinned side down and open them out. Place a log in the center of each thigh where the bone was and fold the chicken around it.

Step 4

Wrap each thigh in one strip of bacon, seam side under the chicken.

Step 5

Place the chicken on the prepared pan and brush each thigh with the honey.

Step 6

Bake for 35 minutes or until cooked through and the bacon is golden brown and crispy. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.
