Delicious-looking — a time-worn thug (anag) (5-8)

I believe the answer is:

mouth-watering

(Other definitions for mouth-watering that I've seen before include "Hit warm tongue (anag) - yummy" , "Smelling or looking delicious" , "Highly appetising" , "Highly tempting" , "Temptingly delicious" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
