Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • chicken thighs
  • BFF
  • smoked paprika
  • oil
Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper and garlic (BFF) and a little smoked paprika; griddle in oil, seasoning the second side, and flip.
  • onions
Soften onions in a little more oil alongside.
  • bourbon
Gather the onions, cover with the steaming lid and pour bourbon in through its hole; season and take off.
Finish the chicken, cut it into small bites, and mix in a bowl with a couple of big tablespoons of barbecue sauce and about a cup of shredded Monterey Jack.
Cutting the chicken into bites
  • defrosted puff pastry
  • flour
Roll the defrosted puff pastry a little bigger on a little flour; cut one-inch strips down both sides, the same number each side.
  • 2 tbsp barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese
Lay the bourbon onions down the middle, then the chicken mixture evenly, then a little more cheese.
Fold the strips over alternately to braid, all the way down; tighten the end and tuck under.
  • 1 whole egg
  • water
Brush evenly with egg beaten with a little water for better colour.
Egg wash and cooking under the lid
With the griddle heading to 350 and the centre burner off, slide the braid on, shut the lid and cook about 30 minutes.
