Chutney chicken

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

Looking for a quick and easy midweek dinner recipe? You need just 4 ingredients to make this chutney chicken and it’s done on the braai. Winning! Abi serves it with a grilled bread salad, but you can have it with whatever side you like.

Ingredients

8 free-range chicken thighs
1 T Woolworths BBQ spice rub
2 T sunflower oil
½ cup fruit chutney
For the grilled bread salad:
2 red peppers
2 red onions, quartered
4 slices ciabatta, torn into chunks
12 pitted Kalamata olives
2 stick celery, finely chopped
leaves from one bunch celery, chopped
12 capers
For the dressing, mix
¼ cup red wine vinegar
4 T olive oil
garlic, crushed
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Cooking Instructions

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.
