  • 5 tablespoons of cider vinegar
  • 5 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1 heaped tablespoon of tomato puree

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C
  2. Pat the chicken dry with a kitchen paper. Then rub each piece all over with a little olive oil and season with a few grinds of pepper.
  3. Place the chicken into a shallow roasting tin, tucking the onion wedges underneath. Place in the oven and cook for 30 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, make up the BBQ sauce by simple whisking all the ingredients together.
  5. When the chicken has been cooking for 30 minutes, pour off any excess oil from the roasting tin, then pour over the BBQ sauce and cook the chicken for a further 25 minutes, basting frequently.
