Sticky-spiced roast chicken, no sugar — USA.
Equipment: Roasting tin
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs and drumsticks
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp mustard powder
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp cider vinegar
- Salt and black pepper
- Slaw, to serve
Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). Mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, mustard powder, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper into a paste.
- Rub the paste all over the chicken pieces, getting under the skin where you can.
- Roast for 35–40 minutes, turning once, until dark, sticky-looking and cooked through — juices should run clear at the bone.
- Rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve with a sharp vinegary slaw.
Swaps and tips
This dry rub gives all the smoky-sweet BBQ flavour without the sugar of bottled sauce. Serve with coleslaw, not buns.
