Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 chicken thighs
  • 4 red chilies chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Blend the chilies, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, paprika, lemon, and salt into a sauce.
  2. Toss the chicken thighs in most of the sauce and marinate at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat oven to 425F and arrange the chicken on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast 30 to 35 minutes until charred and cooked through.
  5. Brush with the reserved sauce before serving.

Notes

Reserve some marinade before adding raw chicken so you have clean sauce to finish with.
