Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, add the chicken thighs along with all of the marinade ingredients except the oil. Mix well to combine, cover & place in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes up to 24 hours to marinate.

  2. Preheat oven to 200°c - 390°f & line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  3. Place a large pan onto high heat. Pour in the peanut or vegetable oil & sear the marinated chicken thighs for 3 minutes on each side or until nicely golden, do this in batches depending on the size of your pan. Once seared, remove & place onto the prepared baking tray. Place the seared chicken into the preheated oven & bake for 17 minutes or until slightly charred & cooked through.
