8 bone-in chicken thighs
2 tbsp Cherry Force seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Pat the chicken thighs dry with kitchen paper.
Drizzle with olive oil and coat generously with Cherry Force seasoning on all sides.
Allow the chicken to sit for 10–15 minutes while the oven or BBQ heats up.
Place chicken thighs skin-side up on a lined baking tray.
The skin should be crisp and lightly caramelised.
The glaze should look glossy and slightly sticky.
Serve with roasted sweet potatoes, grilled corn or a crisp green salad. These chicken thighs also work well sliced into wraps or salads the next day.
Boneless chicken thighs cook faster and stay tender. Reduce cooking time by around 5–8 minutes.
Add a second brush of glaze in the final few minutes of cooking to build a deeper caramelised coating.
Cook at 190°C for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the skin is crisp and the chicken is fully cooked.
