Dukan Friendly BBQ Chicken

This recipe is adapted from my favourite BBQ Chicken recipe to make it Dukan Diet friendly – it’s quick and easy to do, creates minimal washing up and tastes great.  I’m on the hunt for a bottle of liquid smoke as I feel it needs a bit more smokiness.  Of course if you don’t mind the heat, you can add more smoked paprika!

Ingredients:

• 1 tray of boneless, skinless chicken thighs

For the BBQ sauce:

• 3 tbsp tomato puree
• 2 tbsp vinegar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
• 4 tbsp water
• 3-4 heaped tbsp sweetener (or to taste)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp mustard powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• Dash of chili powder (optional)
• 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• Reserve for later – 1 tsp cornflower

Preheat the oven to 260C

1. Line a roasting tin with aluminium foil, taking it right over the lip of the tin
2. Combine all the sauce ingredients except the cornflower
3. Place the chicken portions in the tin, cover with sauce and toss carefully to avoid piercing the foil
4. Seal the tin tightly with another piece of foil
5. Place in oven for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 180C for 1 hour
6. When cooked, remove chicken from tin and if sauce isn’t thick enough, pour into a saucepan.  Blend the cornflower with a little water, add to the sauce and boil until the sauce has thickened.  Pour over chicken and serve
