Ingredients
2 tbsp (30 mL)
olive oil
6
skin-on chicken thighs
1/2 cup (125 mL)
pickled hot peppers, drained and cut into strips
4 oz (115 g)
goat cheese
1 pinch
salt
1 pinch
Italian seasoning
Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Oil a baking sheet. Using a sharp paring knive, cut out and remove bones from chicken.
2
Place thighs on a cutting board and cover with clear wrap or waxed paper. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin to thin and even out the thickness. Remove paper.
3
Drain the hot peppers well. Coarsely chop and measure out about 1/4 cup ( 50 mL). Slice or form cheese into 6 rounds.
4
Place a cheese round on each thigh near the narrow end. Press down to cover about half of the side. Sprinkle each with about 2 tsp (10 mL) chopped peppers.
5
Starting with the narrow cheese covered end of a thigh, roll into a bundle tucking in the ends and pulling the skin to cover and enclose as much of the thigh as possible. Place seam-side down on the oiled baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pieces. Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt and seasonings.
6
Bake until chicken is golden and an instant read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°C (74°F), from 35 to 40 minutes.
