SERVES 4

PREP TIME 5 mins, COOK TIME 30 mins

Ingredients:
1 cup ketchup
3⁄4 cup apple cider vinegar
1⁄4 cup bourbon
1⁄2 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp mustard powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper or paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp sea salt
8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
Boston baked beans, spinach, and 4 corn cobs, to serve

Method:
1 In a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, vinegar, bourbon, sugar, spices, and sea salt. Set aside some of the sauce for glazing and generously baste the chicken all over with the rest.

2 Cook the chicken under a medium-hot broiler for 12–15 minutes on each side, or until cooked through, basting regularly. Alternatively, preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and bake the chicken for 25–30 minutes, or until cooked through. Using a clean brush, baste the reserved sauce over the cooked chicken, and serve hot with Boston baked beans, spinach, and corn cobs.
