  • Add ⅓ of the mixture to the chicken and place the rest in the refrigerator for serving. Seal the top of the bag with the chicken and toss to coat in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.

  • While the chicken is cooking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess fat.
