  • Milk Free

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken pieces (breasts, thighs or legs)
  • 2 tbsp dark muscovado sugar
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp fruit chutney, such as mango or spicy peach
  • 1 tsp root ginger, grated
  • 100ml chicken stock

Method

  1. Slash the chicken, without going through to the bone, and place in a large dish. Mix the remaining ingredients together, pour over the chicken, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  2. Remove excess marinade from the chicken, then cook the chicken on a hot barbecue or under a hot grill for about 8–10 minutes each side, or until cooked through.
  3. Meanwhile, pour the leftover marinade into a saucepan, and boil until reduced to a thick sauce. Serve the chicken with the sauce and plain boiled rice.
