Ingredients

For 6 servings

Steps

  1. Step 1:

    Smash the garlic with a little salt using a pestle and mortar.

  2. Step 2:

    Add the lemon zest and juice, curry powder, chilli flakes, olive oil, and a good grinding of black pepper.

  3. Step 3:

    Mix to a paste. This can also be done in a mini food processor.

  4. Step 4:

    Toss the chicken in the marinade and set aside while you light the barbecue.

  5. Step 5:

    When the barbecue is hot, lay the bunches of rosemary and thyme on the grid and place the chicken, skin side up, on top.

  6. Step 6:

    Close the lid, if your barbecue has one, and cook the chicken on the smouldering herbs for about 10 minutes, until the meat starts to colour.

  7. Step 7:

    Turn the chicken and cook for a further 20–30 minutes, turning as necessary, until slightly charred from the burnt herbs and cooked through to the bone.
