Time 4h25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

50 ml dry sherry
75 ml vodka
330 ml V8 vegetable juice (or use plain tomato juice & increase the celery salt to 2tsp)
1 teaspoon horseradish sauce
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or to taste)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon onion flakes
1 lemon, just the juice
12 chicken thighs, boneless

Steps:

Mix together the sherry, vodka, vegetable juice, horseradish sauce, tabasco, worcestershire sauce, celery salt, onion flakes & lemon juice.
Roll the chicken thighs in the Bloody Mary mixture, seal in a zip-loc bag & leave in the refrigerator overnight (if pushed for time, a 4hr soak is the minimum).
If cooking outdoors - Grill the chicken pieces over a gentle barbecue - that point when the coals go very grey & the flames are just a memory is perfect.Start the meat with the skin-side down & leave for about 5-8 mins, then turn & keep a watchful eye in case they burn. They will take a further 8-10 minutes.
Of if cooking indoors - Preheat grill to high, line pan with foil and cook thighs on a rack for 8-10 minutes per side, starting with skin side down.
Test if it is cooked by cutting a thigh in half; there should be no sign of pink.
Rest the meat for 5 mins somewhere warm before eating.
You can make your own red sauce by boiling the remaining marinade in a saucepan and reducing until syrupy. Adjust the seasoning & add a dollop of honey. Excellent served with steamed rice and green salad.
