How to make roasted chicken thighs

  1. Make the sauce: Stir together the honey, lemon juice, crushed garlic, paprika, chilli flakes, chopped chillies, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.
  2. Brown the thighs: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with salt on both sides. Place the chicken thighs, skin-side down, in a large oven-safe frying pan. Place the pan over medium heat and allow to cook for 7-10 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crisp. Flip the thighs over and pour in the sauce and baste the chicken thighs.
