Yay for Heritage Day! What SAFFA needs an excuse to braai though, right?? 😉
Here are some great recipes for you in case you are looking for a little inspiration to make tomorrow extra special:
CHICKEN WITH A JAMAICAN TWIST:
Serves 4
Preparation time: 15 minutes, plus at least 1 hour marinating
Cooking time: about 35 minutes
Ingredients for braai chicken
8 chicken drumsticks or thighs, about 700 g in total
lime wedges to serve
Jamaican jerk baste
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, very finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 fresh red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
grated zest and juice of 1 lime
Preparation for braai chicken
1 To make the baste, heat the oil in a small frying pan over a moderately low heat. Add the onion, garlic and chilli and cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes or until the onion is softened and starting to brown. Sprinkle over the salt.
2 Tip into a large shallow bowl. Add the spices and the lime zest and juice, and stir well to mix.
3 Remove the skin from the chicken pieces. Make a few shallow slashes in the meat of each piece, then add to the bowl. Turn the pieces to coat thoroughly with the baste, rubbing it into the slashes in the meat. Cover and leave to marinate at room temperature for 1 hour or in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
4 Prepare a charcoal fire. When it has burned down to coals covered with grey ash, remove the chicken pieces from the marinating baste and braai them for 20–25 minutes, turning and brushing frequently with the baste, until cooked all the way through.
5 Alternatively, preheat the grill to moderately high. Arrange the chicken pieces on the grill rack and grill for 20–25 minutes, turning and basting frequently.
6 Serve the chicken hot, garnished with lime wedges.
