Below are three favourite marinade recipes. Each one of them is simply delish. Add some chillies to the Indian and Moroccan recipes. Try it – it’s so easy and very moreish!
All these recipes will yield enough marinade for 1 large chicken – butterflied or cut into pieces. The method for all these marinades are the same, combine the ingredients, pour over the chicken and massage the little bird a bit – marinade for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 day) before braai-ing.
