INGREDIENTS

  • 4 chicken thighs (or drumsticks)
  • ½ cup strong rooibos tea (steep 1 tea bag in ½ cup warm water for 10 minutes)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 garlic clove, finely pressed
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil

METHOD

1. In a bowl, whisk together the rooibos tea, honey, soy sauce, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and ensure they are well coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for an even better flavour).

2. Preheat your oven to 180°C. Place the chicken in an ovenproof dish and spoon any extra marinade over the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the chicken is golden and cooked through.

3. For extra crispy skin, switch to the grill setting for the last 5 minutes.

4. Serve with your favourite side dish.
