Grilled Chicken Wrapped with Leeks and Bacon
I like to grill chicken thighs because the meat is not very dry when it’s ready, but with this recipe you can cook chicken breast too. Wrapped in bacon the chicken will not burn and the meat will stay moist, saturated with the flavor from the bacon. Juniper berries and leeks give an original flavor to the chicken.
