 Method

Ensure chicken is clean and all skin removed

cut deep grooves into the chicken but not all the way through (this will allow the chicken to abosrb the marinade)

mix all the ingredients together and coat the chicken, ensuring the mix is inserted into the grooves

if possible, cover with cling film and leave overnight in the fridge else leave for 30 mins or few hours

place the chicken pieces under a medium heat grill cooking each side for seven minutes each. If you do not have a grill wrap the chicken in tin foil and place in a hot oven at 180 degress for 40 minutes to one hour.
