Paprika Smoked BBQ Chicken
8 good size chicken breasts
3 x garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
6 x tbsp tomato purée
4 x tbsp balsamic vinegar
4 x tbsp dark brown sugar
4 x tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1-2 x tbsp Tabasco sauce
2 x tbsp Dijon mustard
1 x tsp smoked sweet paprika
1 x tbsp chilli powder
olive oil, to drizzle
Mix together the marinade ingredients. Spread over the chicken and leave to marinate for at least an hour. If you can, we would always recommend you leave it to marinade overnight.
Drizzle with a little olive oil & place on a hot barbecue or grill and cook for about 25 minutes, turning occasionally. When browned, brush the chicken with the marinade and cook for another 10-15 minutes, turning and basting frequently, until cooked through.
To test if the meat is done, insert a small knife into the thickest part of a chicken breast and the meat should no longer be pink. If you want to cook this in the oven, bake the chicken legs at 200C/Gas 6 for 30-40 minutes until cooked. Baste with the marinade 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
