Recipe Steps

steps 5

1 h 46 min

  • Step 1

    De-seed and roughly dice the chili. Add to a food processor along with the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cayenne, onion powder, salt and pepper. Blend together to create a spicy marinade.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Arrange the chicken thighs in a shallow dish and pour over half the marinade. Use your hands to rub the marinade into the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Lightly oil a griddle pan over a high heat and preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Step 4

    Place the marinated chicken skin side down in the hot skillet - 2 thighs at a time, cooking for 4-5 minutes to crisp the skin. Turn and brown the other side. Set aside and repeat with the remaining two thighs.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Transfer the chicken thighs to an oven tray and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown all over. Remove and spoon over the remaining marinade and bake for a further 10 minutes or until the chicken is caramelised and completely cooked through.

    What Balsamic Vinegar do you recommend? Sweet or aged – there are so many varieties.
