Method

Ingredients

1. Toss the chicken in the BBQ spice, oil and chutney. Make 2 incisions to the bone so the heat gets into the flesh and the skin doesn’t burn.

2. Cook over medium coals for 20 minutes, turning often. At the same time, cook the peppers on the braai until they collapse, and the onions until soft and slightly charred.

3. Remove the peppers from the braai, then break open, keeping any juices to add to the salad. Grill the bread until charred. Toss with the remaining salad ingredients and dressing. Serve with the chicken.
