I have been promising my friends and colleagues to share the marination recipe for BBQ chicken. It is a very simple recipe that everyone can do it for home BBQ.
About buying spices:
Spicy is the crucial ingredient to give decent flavor to the food. You can easily buy various of spices or ready to cook sauces in the supermarket nowadays. Above is a Northern Indian spice for marinating chicken. I usually go to Mustafa to buy spices.
Meat to prepare:
1) 5kg fresh chicken thighs or breasts - Skin is removed as I was trying for something healthier.
2) 1kg boneless chicken cube
Ingredients:
1. 300g yogurt
2. 100g masala
3. 2 spoons of ginger juice
4. 3 spoons of garlic paste
5. 3 table spoons of oil
6. 1 lemon (juiced)
As masala is already salty, thus need not add salt for the marination.
Combine above 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts. Refrigerate few hours or overnight.
BBQ Prepare Work :
Soak the bamboo sticks in the water for 1- 2 hours in order to prevent it gets burn on the BBQ pit.
Apart from chicken meat, you can prepare more meat for BBQ, for example, ham, meat ball and sausages.
If food appearance is your primary concern, I would suggest you to dress the BBQ meat with some vegetables and fruits. It certainty tastes good and goes well with grill chicken.
BBQ Vegetables and Fruits:
1. Pineapple
2. Red, Green and Yellow Capsicum
3. Onion
4. Cucumber
5. Leek
6. Broccoli
7. Cauliflower
8. Short Beans
Soya Sauce preparation for vegetables:
1. 1/2 cup of soya sauce
2. 5 spoons of brown sugar
3. 1 glove of garlic (mashed)
4. 2 spoons of rice wine
Add above 4 ingredients in the small pot and heat until mixing evenly.
When you start to grill, you can brush some soya sauce on the vegetables.
Brush the rack with butter or oil to prevent the chicken from sticking. Grill the mean for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned or caramelized.
After the chicken cooked through, squeeze some lemon juice on the chicken and serve as room temperature. Absolutely delightful!
