BBQ chicken

Ingredients

• 6chicken drumsticks, skin-on
• 4chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
• 1 tbspolive oil
• 1 1/2 tspsea salt
• 1 1/4 cupsstrained tomatoes, sifted tomatoes
• 2 ozdark brown sugar
• 3 tbspcider vinegar
• 2 tspsmoked paprika
• 1 tspgarlic powder
• 1 tsponion powder
• 1 tbspDijon mustard
• 1/2 tspblack pepper

Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 400°F. Pat the drumsticks and thighs dry, rub them with the olive oil and the salt, and spread them out in a roasting pan without crowding. Bake them plain to begin with.

2. 2

   While the chicken bakes, put the strained tomatoes, brown sugar, cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Dijon and black pepper in a small pan and simmer gently, stirring now and then, until it thickens to a glossy sauce that coats a spoon.

3. 3

   Brush the chicken generously with about half the sauce and return it to the oven, then brush again with most of what is left and bake until the glaze is dark, sticky and set.

4. 4

   Let the chicken sit for a few minutes so the glaze firms up, then serve with whatever sauce is left in the pan spooned over.
