Simple Portuguese BBQ Chicken & Salad

A great share plate with friends and you can make it as spicy as you like.

Preparation time: 20 mins

Cooking time: 15 mins

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

Salad to accompany:

Method:

  1. Blend all of the marinade ingredients in a food processor but do not over process.
    Reserve a small amount for basting.
  2. Cut the chicken into pieces and cover in the marinade. Refrigerate and turn in the marinade regularly for an hour or more.
  3. On a high BBQ sear all of the chicken pieces then lower the temperature and close the lid for another 30 minutes, turning now and then. (Note: You can also finish the chicken in the oven once you have charred it, this delivers a really moist chicken)
  4. Close to serving, baste the chicken once more with the leftover marinade but don’t turn it, you want the marinade on the surface.
  5. Serve on the salad on a platter.
