Chicken thighs over coals

Grilled chicken thighs finished with Berry Hot, charred lime and coriander

Charred, then spooned

Serves 4 · 35 min, plus salting

You need

  • 8 chicken thighs, bone in, skin on
  • 3 tbsp Berry Hot
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lime, halved
  • Salt, coriander to finish

Method

  1. Salt the thighs well and leave them uncovered in the fridge for at least an hour. Skin wants dry air, not fifteen minutes on the counter.
  2. Oil the skin. Grill skin side down over medium coals, away from the hottest part, ten minutes, until dark and crisp.
  3. Turn and cook 12 to 15 minutes more, until the thickest part reads 75°C at the bone.
  4. Move off the direct heat, spoon the Berry Hot over and let it warm through for a minute, no longer.
  5. Rest five minutes. Squeeze the lime over and scatter coriander.
