These juicy, paprika-spiced thighs are budget-friendly and perfect hot off the braai.
Ingredients
• 1 kg Fresh and Frozen chicken thighs
• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp curry powder (optional)
• Juice of ½ lemon (optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
Method
1. In a bowl, mix the oil, garlic, paprika, curry powder, lemon juice, salt and pepper into a marinade.
2. Add the chicken thighs and turn to coat well. Leave to marinate for at least 20 minutes (or overnight in the fridge for more flavour).
3. Heat a griddle pan, grill or braai over medium heat.
4. Cook the thighs for 6–8 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until golden, slightly charred and cooked through (juices should run clear).
5. Rest for a few minutes, then serve.
