- Pre-heat oven at 350°F.
- Transfer cooked chicken in foil. Drizzle with some apple cider vinegar – honey mixture where chicken was cooked. Sprinkle the remaining thyme.

- If your oven is big enough, on a separate pan, lay bacon pieces and cook for 5 to 7 minutes as the chicken cooks in another sheet.
