Cooking Method

1. Firstly, add the buttermilk, salt, pepper and grated ginger to a bowl and then mix well.
2. Next, add the 4 chicken thighs to the mixture, and then cover and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
3. To make the slaw, mix all the ingredients together and place in the fridge.
4. Prepare your BBQ for indirect/direct cooking over charcoal. Leave a gap in the charcoal so that the heat isn’t directly under the chicken.
5. In a pan (we used our ProWare Kitchen milk pan) add all the ingredients and then stir over a low heat until you have a syrupy consistency. Take off the BBQ, strain and then set aside.
6. In a large bowl mix together the cornflour, plain flour smoked paprika, garlic granules, cayenne pepper, and onion salt.
7. On the BBQ (we used our ProWare Kitchen sauté pan) add the rapeseed oil. Heat up the pan over the charcoal to a temperature of around 170C/180C. Do not fill any higher than two thirds of the height of the chicken thighs.
8. Reheat the BBQ sauce.
9. Toss the chicken thighs in the flour mix and cover well. Next, fry the chicken in batches of two until they reach an internal temperature of 80C, and turn them once when cooking. Remove and leave to cool for a few minutes on kitchen roll.
10. Finally, toast your brioche buns and then place some slaw on the base of the bun, add the crispy chicken and drizzle with the tasty sauce. Enjoy!!
