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

Cooking Instructions

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

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

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.
