Portuguese Chicken

 


Yeah, I know, bone-in / skin-on chicken thighs when all the trends are boneless / skinless.  Bone-in / skin-on tastes better and is healthier.  The juices are an important to the flavour and texture.  I use bone-in / skin-on dark chicken meat for several recipes with good reason.  So there.  BTW: spicy!



Ingredients:

  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • just a touch of garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 8 to 10 chicken thighs.  Did I mention bone in / skin on?

How to:

  • Mix the ingredients together and marinade the chicken thighs for 2 hours.  Save the sauce for basting while they cook
  • Cook until done, either in oven at 375 degreed F, or on a barbeque at low to medium heat until done.  The internal temperature should be between 165 and 170 degrees F.
  • Baste with the extra sauce as they are cooking.
