“Winter is here and it’s definitely time to warm up and indulge in some comfort food,” said Chantelle du Plessis, public relations officer for Hirsch’s Meadowdale.
“This chicken dish uses chicken thighs and is a great family favourite.
“It’s great as an appetizer or as a main dish served with rice and veggies.
“It’s so easy to prepare with just a handful of ingredients, including Coke and fruit chutney for the glaze.”
The thighs are baked until golden brown with a zesty sticky-crisp outer crust and a moist and juicy interior.
