Preparation (4 steps)

Preparation of the marinade

Thermomix® Setting

In the Thermomix bowl, insert 1 sprig of fresh rosemary and chop for 5 Sec./speed 7. Gather on the bottom with the spatula.

Adding the liquid ingredients

Add 2 tablespoons of honey, 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 pinch of hot red chili pepper, the grated zest of 1 grapefruit and the juice of 1 grapefruit to the bowl. Mix for 10 Sec./speed 3.

Marinating the chicken

Arrange 4 chicken thighs in a shallow baking dish or in a food bag. Pour the prepared marinade over the chicken thighs, making sure they are well covered. Leave to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours, turning the thighs occasionally to ensure even marinating.

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Transfer the marinated chicken thighs to an oven-safe baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, brushing frequently with the marinade during cooking, until the skin becomes crispy and golden brown.
