Colin: So today guys we’re cooking a family favourite of ours. Chicken thighs. Skin on bone in and what we’re going to do is we’re going to cook it on some bread.
Colin: ok so we’ve got the bread on top of the potato. Splash of water in there so the fat doesn’t burn. What do we do with the bread now?
Maeve: Some Olive oil.
Colin: Little splash of Olive Oil. A drizzle don’t be shy.
Maeve: Then you want to grab some herbs we have Sage and Basil.
Colin: Yeah and if you haven’t got fresh Sage and Basil you can just used mixed herbs. Put a bit of mixed herbs on there as well Maeve.
Colin: It’s like an Irish pizza.
Maeve: Salt. Make it crispy and salty.
Colin: Put some Garlic on there. There you go.
Colin: Little bit of butter. Just pinch it with your hands. Few lumps. You don’t have to have butter. So all this soaks into the bread.
Colin: So we’re going to do 5 chicken thighs. Bone in skin on. Works great with a whole chicken as well.
Colin: So in here we’ve got our chicken thighs, we’ve got garlic, we’ve got salt, pepper, Sage, Basil and smoked paprika yeah and olive oil. And all we do now is.
Lily: Mix it.
Colin: Give it a good mix a good season.
