Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C (180 °C fan).
- Pat the chicken dry with kitchen paper, then rub with oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika and garlic powder.
- Arrange skin-side up in a baking tray or dish and bake for 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile stir the barbecue sauce with the vinegar and honey.
- Take the chicken out, brush with half the sauce and bake for another 15 minutes; brush again with the rest and bake for 5-10 minutes until the glaze is caramelised and the meat cooked through (74 °C).
- Rest for 5 minutes and serve with the pan juices spooned over.

Tips
- Add the sauce only in the second half of the cooking time, because the sugar burns.
- Dry the chicken first so the skin gets crisp.
- A skinless version also works, but bake it for less time so it doesn't dry out.
- It keeps in the fridge for 3 days and reheats very well.
