Method:

Keep a folding braai grid handy.

Put the chicken in a non-metal marinating dish.

Marinade:

Mix all the ingredients. Set aside 60ml (¼c) of the marinade and pour the rest over the chicken. Cover and marinate in the ridge for 2-3 hours or overnight.

To braai:

Prepare a braai fire with enough coals to braai the chicken. Put a metal stand in the coals. Transfer the chicken to the grid and braai high above the coals for 30-35 minutes or until done.

Cut the chicken into portions and serve with the reserved marinade as a sauce.
