About

This is a delicious variation on a popular dish from one of my restaurants. The first part of the recipe can be completed a few hours ahead: refrigerate the chicken when it has been oven-baked (at the end of stage 3), and add 3-4 Minutes to the cooking time at stage 8 to ensure that it is heated through.

Ingredients

450g (1 lb) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon groundnut

Method

Cut the chicken into 5cm (2 in) chunks and place in a large bowl. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ingredients for the marinade. Pour over the chicken and stir well to ensure all the pieces are thoroughly coated. Marinate for about 30 Minutes at room temperature. Drain, discarding the marinade. Place the chicken pieces on a large baking tray.
