Tamarind & Chilli Glazed BBQ Chicken
Recipe by Michael Weldon
Serves - 4
Prep Time - 10-15 mins
Cook Time - 35-40 mins
Ingredients
1 Chicken, butterflied
Sea salt
Tamarind and Chilli Glaze
1 tbsp ginger
1 tbsp garlic, grated
2 large chilies, roughly chopped
2 birdseye chilies, roughly chopped
2 tbsp tamarind puree
1 tbsp ketchup manis
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 kaffir lime leaves
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
Method
In a saucepan, combine the ingredients for the tamarind and chilli glaze. Mix well and place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the glaze thickens and becomes saucy. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a bowl, marinate the chicken with 1/3 of the glaze and let it marinate for at least 6 hours.
Heat a BBQ over medium-high heat. Brush the grills with oil and place the chicken, skin side down, on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the glaze caramelizes and the chicken skin starts to crisp. Then, turn the chicken and brush on more of the glaze. Repeat this process, turning and basting the chicken until it is cooked through. Once cooked, give the chicken a final glaze and let it rest.
Portion the chicken and serve it with a slaw or light salad.
