Marinate overnight
10 minutes
4 to 6 people
What you'll need
- 8 chicken thighs, skin on
- 2 lemons, zest and juice (or 4 tbsp of bottled lemon juice)
- 3 crushed garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp coriander, chopped
- 1 tbsp piri-piri sauce
- 1 tbsp paprika
Method
Step 1.
Place all the ingredients in a non-metallic container, mix together and cover. Put this in the fridge for at least 2 hours but leaving the chicken to chill and marinate overnight will give it the most flavour.
Step 2.
Before grilling, bring the mixture to room temperature.
Step 3.
Make 2 skewers, with 4 thighs on each. Cook on a very hot barbecue or hob for 5 minutes. Turn the skewers and grill the other side for 5 minutes. If they need some more time, continue to cook on a medium heat, until juices run clear.
