Bacon-wrapped chicken thighs baked with beer and rosemary are a boldly flavored oven dish that works well for dinner. Wrap the seasoned thighs in slices of Orava bacon, a Slovak smoked bacon, arrange them in a roasting pan, and add garlic, bay leaves, fresh rosemary, and celery leaves. Pour over a mixture of lager, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar, then bake for 40 to 50 minutes at 180°C (350°F). Turn the chicken occasionally during baking so it cooks evenly on all sides.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
- Season the chicken thighs with the seasonings and wrap each one in bacon, using all the slices. Place them in a roasting pan or on a baking sheet with a little oil.
- Add the bay leaves, garlic, rosemary, and celery leaves to the chicken. Stir 3 tbsp olive oil and the balsamic vinegar into the beer, then pour the mixture over the chicken.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 40–50 minutes. Turn the chicken occasionally so it cooks through evenly on all sides.
Tip: The chicken is done when the meat pulls away easily from the bone and the juices run clear, not pink. Strain the pan juices with the beer and balsamic vinegar and serve as a sauce.
