Boneless (skin on) chicken thighs marinated with preserved lemon, garlic & herbs.
This is a quick & simple bbq recipe taken from Tom Kerridge's book Outdoor Cooking, the boneless chicken thighs are marinated in the delicious mediterranean flavours of preserved lemons, extra virgin olive oil, garlic & fresh herbs.
It is very easy to prepare and delicious to eat, the chicken thighs only need to marinade for 30 minutes (leave them to marinade while you light the bbq) but can be prepared in advance and left to marinade in the fridge for several hours, making them ideal for a quick evening bbq, prepare them in the morning ready for that night's supper.
Serve with a simple greek salad for a delicious mediterranean style meal.
Ingredients:
12 boneless chicken thighs (skin on)
50ml extra virgin olive oil
50g preserved lemon, finely chopped

Method:

Remove chicken from fridge about 15 mins before you are ready to cook.
Lay chicken thighs skin side down on a hot barbecue, arranging them around the edges of the hot coals, not directly over them as fat dripping down will cause the coals to flame up.
Move the chicken thighs around and turn them regularly to cook evenly.
Cook for around 15-20 mins, depending on how hot your barbecue is. To test, pierce the thickest part of the thigh with a skewer, if the juices run clear, they are cooked.
