Spicy Barbecued Chicken

This flavourful barbecued chicken is a must-try! Marinated in a spicy blend of Lemongrass & Ginger Spice Paste or Tamarind Garlic + Chilli Spice Paste and roasted to crispy perfection, it’s the perfect balance of heat and tang. Served with fresh coriander, spring onions, and pickled red onions for that added zing.

  1. Score the skin of each chicken thigh a couple of times
  2. Place the chicken in a dish and add the Lemongrass & Ginger Spice Paste or Thai Chilli Paste. Coat well.
  3. Cover with cling film, refrigerate and leave to marinate for at least 1 hour if possible, or overnight if time allows.
  4. Remove from the fridge 20 mins before you start cooking.
