Brendon's chicken marinade

This was a recipe that Brendon and I (mainly Brendon) put together to spit roast deboned chicken thighs in a Weber Kettle Braai. We had to use ingredients mainly from his Mom's larder.

The quantities in this recipe are enough to marinate chicken pieces for six people.

Ingredients


The ingredients
  • 2 150g tubs of plain yoghurt
  • 1 tsp mild spicy curry powder (Rajah)
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp Robertson's chicken spice
  • 2 tsp freshly chopped parsley
  • 1 tsp freshly chopped garlic (optional)
  • A dash of lemon juice
  • Salt

Method

Mix the ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl.

Add the chicken and coat well.

Allow the chicken to marinate for at least two hours.

Braai on a low heat, turning regularly, until the chicken is a nice golden brown. Any left-over marinade can be used to baste the chicken.

Serve and Enjoy!
