Method:

1 Cut out the backbone of the chicken, open it up and flatten by pushing with the heel of your hand. Transfer to a marinating dish.

2 RUB

Mix all the ingredients and rub all over the chicken. Cover and marinate for at least an hour.

3 Slowly braai high over moderate coals for about 40 minutes until done – turn the grid often to ensure the meat cooks evenly. Remove from the heat and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. Cut into pieces to your liking.

4 PAP

Mix the maize meal and water to form a paste. Pour the boiling water into a saucepan and add the paste. Stir well and bring to the boil, stirring occasionally to keep it from catching.

5 Simmer the pap for 20 minutes or until stiff. Season with the salt and add the butter (if using).
