Prep: 10 min + 30 min resting | Braai: 40 to 50 min | Serves: 4 | Difficulty: Easy
Braai chicken burns on the outside and stays raw inside when the fire is too hot. Go medium and go patient.
Ingredients
- 8 chicken pieces (thighs and drumsticks), skin on
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 2 to 3 tbsp Spykos Chicken Spice, to taste
Method
- Pat the chicken dry. Toss with oil, then coat evenly with Spykos Chicken Spice. Rest for 30 minutes.
- Let your coals burn down to medium heat, so you can hold your hand over the grid for about 5 seconds.
- Braai the chicken for 40 to 50 minutes, turning every 8 to 10 minutes.
- Check that the thickest part is cooked through to 75°C, with clear juices. Rest for 5 minutes.
Tip
Move pieces to the cooler side of the fire if they colour too fast.
