For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice rub. Thick-cut bacon works best, as it provides a more substantial crisp and holds its shape during cooking. If the bacon starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent the baking dish with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. Resting the chicken allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product.
