Method

Cut each chicken into four (the two legs and two breasts) and discard the back bone.

Mix together the marinade ingredients. Place the chicken in a large bowl, pour the marinade over and leave to marinate overnight.

Slowly grill the chicken pieces over the coals for 10-15 minutes. If the fire is very hot the chicken can be protected by wrapping it in aluminium kitchen foil prior
