Method
- Preheat the oven to 170°C (fan) / Gas Mark 5.
- Heat a large frying pan to medium-hot, add a splash of olive oil and pan-fry the chicken thigh fillets for 5 minutes total, turning halfway through to brown both sides.
- Transfer the chicken thighs to a large ovenproof tray (or individual dishes if using different sauce heats).
- Lay two rashers of streaky bacon over each chicken thigh.
- Smother with Rib Tickler BBQ Sauce, ensuring the chicken and bacon are well coated.
- Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, add a little more sauce if needed, sprinkle over the grated mozzarella and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and golden.
- Split open your jacket potatoes, add a knob of salted butter, and season with salt and pepper. (We like to add the jacket potatoes to individual dishes, so they soak up all that rich BBQ sauce.)
Jam Tip
For families, use Mild Rib Tickler for the kids, and Medium or Hot for the adults — same flavour, your choice of firepower.
