Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2-3 small mixed peppers deseeded, cut lengthways into 8 slices
  • 1 large red onion peeled, cut into 2cm thick wedges
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil divided
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil divided
  • 1 tsp mild chilli powder
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • salt and ground black pepper according to taste
  • 4 sweetcorn cobettes
  • 1 zest of lime quartered for optional garnish
  • 4 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1½ tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • Chopped coriander for garnish

Instructions

  • Install the Accessory Frame in the bottom level of the unit, then place the Pro-Heat Tray on top. Turn dial to select MAX ROAST, set temperature to 315°C, and set time to 15 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin preheating (preheating will take approx. 10-15 minutes).
  • In a large bowl, toss peppers and onions with 1 teaspoon oil, chilli powder, garlic, and optional salt and pepper. In a separate large bowl, toss sweet cobettes with 1 teaspoon oil, lime zest and optional salt and pepper. Evenly season chicken thighs with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper.
  • When the unit is preheated and ADD FOOD and PRS START is displayed, open the door, slide out the accessory frame and Pro-Heat Tray using high heat oven gloves and place the chicken, skin side down on the tray. Close the door, select START/STOP and cook for 3 minutes.
  • After 3 minutes, open the door, use silicone-tipped tongs to flip the chicken thighs and move to one side of the tray. Place the vegetables and corn on the opposite side. Close the door to continue cooking. When 6 minutes remain, open the door, toss the vegetables and turn the cob. Close the door to continue cooking.
  • Cooking is complete when the internal temperature of the chicken reads 75°C on an instant read thermometer. If more cooking time is necessary, increase time using the right-hand dial. When cooking is complete, open door, transfer chicken and vegetables to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped coriander and lime wedges.
