Serves: 4-6
This smoky lean chicken will make a perfect dinner that you can prepare in a jiffy and pop in the oven for the magic to work. The deeply smoky flavour comes from smoked paprika and ancho chilli flakes - mild and sweet-tasting variety of chilli. If you like it spicy - add some chillies as per your personal preferences. It is made with home-made barbeque sauce.
You can serve it with rice, spiced potatoes, in tacos, over baked potatoes, in a bun with lettuce or even stuff tortillas with it. If you make too much - pop it covered in the fridge and eat it for lunch with your choice of bread. Add a fresh salad, lettuce or guacamole.

1 large red onion chopped finely
