1. CHICKEN PREP - Trim excess fat from the chicken thighs. - Rub with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. - Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. 2. GRILL PREP - Set the grill for indirect heat (170–210°C / 340–410°F). - Use a SNS tray with water (or any drip pan with water under the meat). - Vent settings: top vent half open, bottom vent fully open. - Add a small smoking wood chunk and smoke for 20 minutes. 3. SEAR THE CHICKEN - Grill the chicken meat-side down over direct heat for 1–2 minutes until lightly browned. - Transfer the thighs to a drip pan. - Between the chicken pieces place: fresh thyme sprigs, sliced garlic, capers, red onion wedges, lemon wedges. - Sprinkle with the herb mixture (basil, oregano, marjoram). - Add: cherry tomatoes and green olives - Pour in 200–250 ml of white wine. 5. GRILL - Cover and cook over indirect heat for 50 minutes, until the chicken is fully tender and juicy. - Slice and grill the baguette or ciabatta over direct heat until golden. 6. Serve the chicken hot with: the wine-olive pan sauce, grilled lemon and vegetables from the pan and toasted baguette or ciabatta. TIP: Pat chicken dry before seasoning – this helps achieve a better sear.

   1. In a small bowl, mix cocoa, sugar and salt. 2. In a saucepan, gently heat the milk and cream over medium heat until steaming (not boiling). 3. Add cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk until smooth and dissolved. 4. Stir in the chopped chocolate, whisking until fully melted and silky. 5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. 6. Pour into mugs, top with whipped cream or marshmallows, and finish with a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or spice. TIPS: * A pinch of salt enhances the depth of flavor and makes the sweetness pop. * Heat milk slowly; don’t let it boil. Boiling can scorch milk and change the flavor. * Use a whisk or frother to create a light, café-style foam. * Steep cinnamon sticks, vanilla pods, or even orange zest in the milk for a subtle twist. * Whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate shavings, or even a drizzle of caramel make it feel indulgent. * Pre-warm your mug with hot water so the drink stays cozy longer.
