Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp of za'atar
  • 1 tsp of garlic granules
  • 4 tbsp of runny honey
  • 8 chicken thighs, skin on and bone in

Method

  • Step 1

    Mix together the honey, za’atar and garlic granules – we’ve used garlic granules in this recipe, as fresh garlic burns easily on a hot barbecue, which can leave a bitter taste. Season and divide the mixture between two large bowls.
  • Step 2

    Add the chicken thighs to one of the bowls – keep stirring and turning until they are all coated in the honey mix.
  • Step 3

    Next, place the thighs skin side down on a hot barbecue for 3 mins, then turn and cook the undersides for another 3 mins.
  • Step 4

    Baste the tops with some fresh marinade from the second bowl, then turn and cook for 1 min more, basting the undersides.
  • Step 5

    Repeat this process of turning and basting every 1 min for 4 mins more, or until the meat is cooked through, and serve straight away.
  • Step 6

    TIP: If you prefer, oven-cook for 15-20 mins at 200ºC/180ºC fan/6 gas, or until juices run clear, then finish on the barbecue for 3-4 mins.
