Marinade for Barbeque Chicken


This is a very good marinade for chicken cooked on a braai (barbeque).  Because the marinade will burn if left on the barbeque for too long I always par-cook the chicken first by boiling in water to which is added a few bay leaves, peppercorns and salt.  Leave it to boil for about half an hour and the chicken will not need so long over the coals.


50 ml oil

1 onion, finely chopped or minced

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

25 ml Worcestershire sauce

50 ml tomato sauce (ketchup)

25 ml chutney

lemon juice

12.5 ml honey

Boil all the ingredients together for 5 minutes.  (Can be done in a microwave as well as on the stove)

Pour over chicken pieces and marinade for 6 hours or overnight.

Sufficient for 8 pieces of chicken
