Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
Marinade
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp mustard powder
- 3 tbsp tomato sauce
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp mango chutney
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: Put the cayenne pepper, mustard powder, tomato sauce, salt, pepper, mango chutney, Worcestershire sauce, and oil into a small bowl and mix thoroughly to create the marinade.
- Prepare the Chicken: Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs and make two or three slits in each piece to allow the marinade to penetrate better.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and use a pastry brush to coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover the dish with cling film and refrigerate for at least one hour, or longer if possible, to enhance the flavors.
- Preheat the Grill: Set the grill to medium heat and let it warm up while the chicken marinates.
- Grill the Chicken: Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on a grill rack and place it under the preheated grill. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes on one side.
- Turn and Continue Grilling: Flip the chicken thighs over and grill for another 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
Notes
- Devilled chicken is an easy and flavorful British classic, perfect for a quick meal.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked fully; juices should run clear when pierced.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for longer than one hour if time allows.
- You can serve this with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
