Method

In a colander, rinse the chicken under cold water and pat dry. Place in a large, non-reactive container or bowl.
Place all the ingredients for the marinade in a food processor and pulse until you have a grainy sauce. Pour it over the chicken and toss well. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 2 or up to 3 days. Turn
