INGREDIENTS
1 Kg of free range chicken (you can use chicken breasts, drumsticks, and wings) 1/3 cup Portuguese white wine (If you don’t have Portuguese white wine, use another dry white wine) 1 grated lemon rinds Juice of 3 large lemons or 1/2 cup of pure lemon juice 2 tablespoon tomato paste 4 garlic cloves chopped 4 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon peri peri or to taste Salt to taste
PREPARATION
Place the chicken evenly distributed in a platter or baking dish, I like to use a Tupperware with a lid so that I can turn it over a few times while marinating.
Mix the wine, lemon rinds and juice, tomato paste, oil, paprika, hot pepper sauce, garlic, and salt to taste in a bowl.
Pour this marinade over the chicken in the platter or dish. Cover and let it marinade in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours, overnight is best.
Place the chicken on the braai grid over medium heat, cook evenly on both sides until crispy and cooked through. Baste liberally with marinade every time you turn the chicken on the braai grid. Save some of the marinade for later.
Take the remaining marinade in the bowl you set aside and place it in a saucepan on medium heat and simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
Once the chicken has been grilled well, place in the platter and pour the marinade over the chicken.
Serve with a lemon sliced into quarters for extra flavor and enjoy! Penny meals
