Method:
- Preheat the oven to 190C.
- Place the chicken in a bowl and mix with all the remaining ingredients (ideally marinating overnight).
- Line a baking tray with a sheet of parchment paper as the marinate is sticky and would burn the tray.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes but double check the chicken is cooked thoroughly (add a few more minutes if you have bigger thighs).
