Chicken espetada with peri-peri

By Abigail Donnelly

Serves 8

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes, plus 1 hour's marinating time

Cooking Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

8 skin-on free-range chicken breasts

For the peri-peri marinade:

4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 cup red wine vinegar
¼ cup maple syrup
3 red chillies, finely chopped
2 t smoked paprika
1 t cayenne pepper
2 lemons, juiced
1 T tomato paste
¼ cup sunflower oil
1 t dried smoked chilli flakes
Salt, to taste

Method

1. To make the marinade for the chicken espetada, heat a pan and simmer the ingredients for 10 minutes, then cool.

2. Cut the chicken breasts in half, then marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

3. Thread the chicken onto kebab skewers. Braai until cooked to your liking, brushing the kebabs with the marinade. Serve with the pickled watermelon rind.

Cook's note: We braai a few of these extra-big kebabs to share, and remove the tender chicken pieces from the skewers at the table to eat with the pickled watermelon rind.
