Written to complete the family collection. This is a new version, not a recovered record of the original cook.

Ingredients

  • 800 g boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 4 tbsp barbecue sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Method

  1. Mix oil and dry seasonings and coat chicken. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  2. Heat the barbecue with a medium-hot area and a cooler area. Mix barbecue sauce and vinegar separately.
  3. Grill chicken for about 5–7 minutes per side. Move to the cooler area if it colours too quickly.
  4. Brush with sauce only during the final 2–3 minutes, turning once, so the sugar does not burn.
  5. Check the thickest part reaches 74°C. Rest for 5 minutes and serve.
