- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp chilli flakes (or to taste)
- 1 tsp garlic powder or granules
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Chicken
- 4 drumsticks
- 8 chicken thighs , skinless
Sides (optional)

Instructions
Marinate the chicken
- Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a ceramic or glass bowl or container.
- Add the chicken and rub the marinade over the pieces to coat.
- Cover the bowl and chill overnight in the fridge or for up to 24 hours.
Cook the chicken
- Preheat the oven to 200C (400F).
- Slice the peppers, if using, and spread over a baking tray.
- Tread the chicken thighs on metal skewers (discard any marinade).
- Set a rack over the peppers and add the chicken pieces.
- Cook for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is 75C / 165 F when checked with a digital thermometer.
- Serve the chicken over a bed of rice with sliced peppers and lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a Slimming World version, replace the sugar with sweetener and leave out the olive oil. Mist the chicken with olive oil cooking spray (you can simply add olive oil to a small spray bottle) prior to cooking.
- Increase the heat by adding more chilli flakes to the marinade
