Ingredients
 

Instructions

  • I like to make the marinade in advance and give the chicken a chance to fully absorb the flavours.
  • In a saucepan, add the cider vinegar with the same amount of water(100ml).
    100 ml cider vinegar, 100 ml water
  • Add the brown sugar, paprika, mustard and soy sauce and stir thoroughly to combine. Bring the marinade to a boil and then reduce the heat so that the marinade simmers.
    1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp dark brown sugar, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • Simmer for about 10 minutes until it has reduced in volume and thickened.
  • Taste and add salt and pepper as required.
    ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper
  • Place to one side and allow to cool.
  • Season the thighs lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Place the chicken thighs into the marinade and leave for 1 hour.
    6 large chicken thighs
  • When the barbecue is ready, place the chicken thighs on the grill and cook for about 2-4 minutes per side rotating regularly to prevent charring.
  • Continue to brush the thighs with the marinade during cooking for that extra burst of flavour.
  • When fully cooked, remove from the heat and place to one side and allow to rest for about 5 minutes under foil.
  • Serve and enjoy.
  • Alternatively, you can cook the chicken thighs on a hob using a piping hot griddle pan.
  • Add the thighs and cook for about 4 minutes each side.
  • As with the barbecue, brush the marinade over the chicken during cooking.
  • Again when cooked remove from the heat and allow to rest before serving.
