- Thyme leaves
- Aioli (garlic mayonnaise)
- Water
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Heat a griddle pan over medium-high heat. |
| 2 | Rub the boned chicken legs all over with a little olive oil and sprinkle thyme leaves evenly. |
| 3 | Lay each piece on the grill pan, skin side down. |
| 4 | Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. |
| 5 | Leave the meat in place for at least three minutes, pressing down firmly with a spatula or large knife to ensure even cooking. |
| 6 | Turn the meat over using tongs and continue cooking for about eight minutes, or until the meat is a glossy golden brown on both sides. |
| 7 | While the chicken is cooking, prepare the aioli by placing it in a bowl and beating in a little warm chicken stock or water to thin it down to desired consistency. Ensure it remains thick enough to slide off a spoon. |
| 8 | Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and crumble over some more sea salt. Serve with a dollop of the garlic mayonnaise on the side. |
Tips:
- Ensure the griddle pan is properly heated before adding the chicken to achieve a nice sear.
- Use fresh thyme leaves for the best flavor.
- Adjust the thickness of the aioli according to personal preference by adding more or less liquid.
