These budget-friendly spiced and juicy chicken thighs will help turn up the heat if you’re feeling a bit chilly while braving British BBQ season. The jalapeño corn bread is a ridiculously faff-free side that makes a tasty change from the usual array of bread hastily grabbed from the supermarket when the sun has made an appearance.
We’ve not done a whole lot of barbecuing up here in Whitley Bay yet this “summer”, but when we have sparked up the grill we’ve had to close the lid to stop the gas flames going out because of the fierce wind that blows here! We’ve also not got around to getting much in the way of garden furniture yet, but to be honest even when it looks warm outside I get a chill after about 5 minutes so it’s safer to eat in the kitchen.
I’m sure i’ll toughen up eventually!
So if you fancy serving up this feast for your next grilling adventure, go and check out the Channel 4 Fairy Giving Your More website for my easy barbecue recipe and instructions: Jerk Spiced Chicken Thighs With Cornbread
Have you been trying out anything new this barbecue season? I’d love to hear about your favourite things to throw on the grill…. let me know in the comments below.
As i’ve used thrifty ingredients for this easy barbecue recipe, i’m entering it into Camilla and Helen’s Credit Crunch Munch event, this month hosted by Jen’s Food. If like me you’re really watching the pennies at the moment, hop on over there for some fantastic ideas for making your food go further.
I’ll admit I’ve never really got into cornbread, but yours looks lovely! Love the idea of adding jalapenos.
It’s so easy to make and perfect for mopping up sauces… I’m a big convert!
I love cornbread – why oh why don’t i make it more often? I’ll head over to the site to give it a try!
It’s one of those things that gets forgotten – it’s ridiculously easy to make though so i’m going to try and make it far more often now 🙂
Love the look of that cornbread and with the spicy chicken thighs that really is fabulous summer fair:-) Thanks for a fab frugal entry to #CreditCrunchMunch:-)
Thanks Camilla… love a bit of budget cooking!
I’m loving the sound of this! I’m a big fan of cornbread too! We’ve not done any BBQ-ing yet this year. I’m beginning to fear we will not be getting a summer this year!
Lol Elizabeth… can’t imagine being without a coat or wearing sandals!!!!
the cornbread looks great – I’ve not made any for ages. thanks for linking up to #CreditCruncMunch
I know Helen, I haven’t made it since I did this recipe and really must for our next BBQ!
I’ve never tried cornbread, I really must because it looks great, jerk spicing on the chicken thighs sounds delicious too. Thanks for sharing with #CreditCrunchMunch 🙂
Thanks for having me along Jen – cornbread is a real revelation – so easy and a little bit different!
