Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4
Step 2
In a food processor blitz together the onion, garlic and chilli with olive oil. Take this paste and add to a bowl, mix in all the other ingredients for the sauce. Taste for seasoning
Step 3
Remove the skins from the chicken thighs and place in the prepared marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Add to a baking tray, with any excess marinade, cover with foil and place in the oven
Step 4
Leave to cook for approximately 30 minutes; during this time get the barbecue ready. You can also add some rosemary, bay leaves or any herbs to the barbecue to add some extra flavour to the meat
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the oven and place the individual marinated thighs on the barbecue, using tongs to turn them over. Allow to cook (I found that getting a heatproof bowl and covering the chicken for a little bit helps to smoke it and makes it even jucier)
Step 6
Check the chicken is cooked thoroughly and enjoy with a fresh salad
Step 7
