Smokey Sticky Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

• 8 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
• ½ cup BlixSam Smokey Salad Dressing
• ¼ cup BlixSam Yanky BBQ Sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 spring onions, sliced, for serving
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for serving

Smokey Sticky Glaze

• ¼ cup BlixSam Smokey Salad Dressing
• 2 tbsp BlixSam Yanky BBQ Sauce
• 1 tbsp honey

Method

1. Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl. Add the Smokey Dressing, Yanky BBQ Sauce, honey, garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika and black pepper.
2. Massage the marinade thoroughly over the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavour.
3. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
4. Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up in a roasting dish. Pour any remaining marinade around the chicken.
5. Roast for 25 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, combine the extra Smokey Dressing, Yanky BBQ Sauce and honey to make the sticky glaze.
7. Remove the chicken from the oven and brush generously with the glaze.
8. Return to the oven for another 15–20 minutes, brushing once or twice more, until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is dark, glossy and caramelised.
9. For extra sticky edges, place under the grill for 2–3 minutes at the end. Watch carefully because the honey can caramelise quickly.
10. Rest for 5 minutes, then spoon some of those sticky pan juices over the chicken and finish with spring onions and parsley.
