It’s been a wet start to Great British barbecue season this year, but that just means garden grill masters have more time to prepare for the BBQ of dreams. Check out this wild recipe from our recipe developer Sophie Nahmad who pairs smokey bourbon whisky with fiery chipotle for the perfect fried chicken.
Chipotle-Honey & Whiskey Glazed Fried Chicken
Serves 2
Total time 60 mins
Glaze
- 20g chipotle paste
- 25g honey
- 1/2 lime
- 20ml Bourbon Whiskey
- 40g butter
Fried Chicken
- 320g chicken thighs
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 4 tbsp flour
- Salt & Pepper
Method
Step one Combine your glaze ingredients in a small pan on the hob and cook for 2-3 min or until thickened – this is your chipotle honey and whiskey glaze.
Step two Combine the smoked paprika, dried oregano and ground coriander in a large bowl with 4 tbsp flour and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
Step three Add the chicken thighs to the bowl with 4 tsp cold water.
Step four Give everything a good mix-up and, using your hands, scrunch the flour onto the chicken until fully coated – this is your coated chicken.
Step five Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a very generous drizzle of vegetable oil over high heat.
Step six Once hot, reduce the heat to medium-high and add the coated chicken to the pan and cook for 8-10 min on each side or until golden, crispy and cooked through (no pink meat!)
Step seven Once done, season the cooked chicken with a pinch of salt – this is your fried chicken
Step eight In a bowl, toss the glaze over the fried chicken and serve immediately.
