  • Whisk the mustard, treacle, sugar, lemon juice, pepper and salt together in a bowl. Stir in the ale, garlic and herbs.
  • Slash the chicken thighs through to the bone in several places with a sharp knife.
  • Place the thighs into the ale marinade and put in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight. Turn in the liquid from time to time.

  • Carefully strain off the onion juice and reserve.
  • Put the onions in a pan with the 2 tbsp of olive oil and the water. Cook gently to make a soft and pulpy jam. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • For the dressing, mix the onion juice with enough olive oil to make a dressing. Add salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste.
  • Heat the grill and preheat the oven to 350°F Drain and dry the chicken pieces, brush with a little olive oil and cook on all sides until golden and branded.
  • Place in the oven for about 10 minutes until cooked right through.
  • To serve, place a spoonful of the onion jam on each plate, top with two chicken thighs. Dress the mix of leaves and serve along side the thighs.
