Instructions
- Combine the honey, chilli flakes and lemon juice in a large glass jar (the honey will bubble up so it's best to use a jar big enough to only fill it half way with honey).
- Microwave in 1 minute bursts, stirring in between, for 3 minutes. Allow to cool and infuse for at least 30 minutes but the honey can be kept in the fridge for a few weeks.
- Season chicken thighs generously with salt, pepper and garlic powder on both sides. Place the chicken, skin-side down in a large oven-proof frying pan.
- Place the pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken until the fat has rendered and the skin is crisp and golden.
- Drizzle the chicken with the hot honey and top with thyme.
- Place in a hot oven and allow to bake for 10-15 minutes until sticky and bubbling.
- Check on the chicken half way through baking to make sure it's not burning and to spoon the honey/pan juices over the chicken. Remove from the oven and serve.
