Retain 4 tablespoons of marinade aside to serve

Allow chicken to sit in the marinade for at least 2 hours
Remove chicken and discard marinade
Cook chicken on a hot BBQ or fry pan for approximately 5 minutes per side or until cooked through

Prepare the marinade in the morning if you wish and it doesn't take long to cook the chicken and prepare the salad. I cooked mine in a fry pan but The BBQ gives the chicken a darkened crispy coating.

Sounds and looks amazing – does this marinade tenderize the chicken?

This sounds amazing, simple and full of flavour. I will have to try this recipe and maybe give some to my Greek mother-inlaw to try and impress her.

I’ve no mint sauce at home. Could I use fresh mint from the garden ?
