If you haven’t yet tried it yet, check out the recipe and make it along with this new variation – Stove Top BBQ Chicken. I actually had some chicken thighs defrosted out of the freezer for dinner and was trying to decide what to make. I tend to serve that with rice and stir-fried veggies and the kids had requested some Potato Wedges. So I figured it was a good time to make something different. Which I have to add are pretty darn delicious, full of that lovely garlic flavour and sweet buttery Yukon Gold Potatoes. Seriously the best potatoes you can buy.
Look out for the Elfe variety of potato in the UK, which is a similar variety. They are my favourite potato to use and feature regularly in my Syn Free Mashed Potatoes. Before making a start on the Stove Top BBQ Chicken, I quickly had a search of the veggie tray and fridge to see what I could put together for some speed foods. This is regular routine in my house because if I do not have the right speed foods to accompany a dish, I will often change my mind and make something else. Some sauteed peppers and onions seemed like a great choice. I cooked those separately rather than adding to the pan for the BBQ Chicken.
I’ll be getting the full recipe for how I made the sauteed peppers and onion up on the blog very soon. They are a great side dish to so many main courses, especially grilled meats, sausages etc. I use chicken thighs for this Stove Top BBQ Chicken – I just think that cut of meat works better for this style of cooking. The meat stays lovely and tender with the tangy sweet BBQ sauce – so yummy! For the delicious smokey bbq sauce, I use my regular blend of spices and some passata, along with a mixture of vinegar and soy sauce, with my favourite maple syrup to sweeten. It’s what I’ve been using for years when I want a quick BBQ marinade and it really works perfectly for this Stove Top BBQ Chicken.
For the cooking, add the sauce ingredients to the pan first, then before turning on the heat, add in the chicken thighs, I just sliced them in half, don’t chop them up small. I also add a sliced red onion as it really adds to the flavour. Now here is where the magic comes in, once you turn on that heat and get it to the bubbling stage, you really don’t want to touch the chicken or move the ingredients around, this is really important for the cooking process. Halfway through the cooking time, you can carefully turn over the chicken pieces, but that’s it, there really is nothing else to do to it.
It does the magic all by itself, trust me. Sauteed Peppers and Onion – delicious! BTW if you have a healthy extra B choice spare, this Stove Top BBQ Chicken would be amazing on a Wholemeal Roll, like a burger. You could even add a little cheddar if you have a healthy extra spare too. WHAT KITCHEN ITEMS DO I NEED TO THIS STOVE TOP BBQ CHICKEN?
