Yucatan grilled chicken nachos and cheesy courgette corn bread



Ingredients for chicken


3 cloves garlic minced

2 Tsp yellow prepared mustard

1 Tsp achiote paste

1 limes juice and zest

2 Tsp mild pure chili powder - like New Mexican or Ancho

1 Tsp salt

Enough water to make a smooth paste - roughly 50ml

10 chicken thighs, deboned, skin on


Method for chicken

  1. Take all ingredients apart from the chicken and water and blitz together, once blitzed add the water slowly to make a paste

  2. Rub this paste generously into the thighs and let marinate overnight

  3. Once chicken has marinated get the cast iron skillets nice and hot, this will take at least 8 minutes on the gas hobs, do not start to cook chicken if skillets are not hot enough

  4. Scorch each thigh on both sides, (skin side first) so grill marks and flavour are imparted onto the chicken

  5. Once scorched lay into try and finish in oven until core temp is 75°c or over

  6. To serve the chicken it will need to be roughly sliced n shredded, all this takes is to roughly slice each thigh into 6-8 slices
