Ingredients

  • 4 x 250gram Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • Zest Of 1 Orange
  • 1 Dried Chili
  • 1 ½ Teaspoons Heaped Smoked Paprika
  • 1 ½ Teaspoons Dijon or English Mustard
  • 3 Tablespoons Honey
  • 3 Tablespoons Tomato Ketchup
  • 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1/16 Teaspoon Sea Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper To Taste

Instructions

  • Into a bowl put the finely grated zest of the orange, along with the dried chili (crumbled), the paprika, mustard, honey, tomato ketchup and the olive oil.
  • Then after combining all these ingredients together add a pinch of salt along with some pepper then stir again.
  • Take out a couple of spoonfuls of the mixture made and put to one side.
  • To the rest of the marinade in the bowl you add the chicken breasts.
  • Turn them over so that they are completed coated by the marinade made and cover with plastic wrap before leaving to one side for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Once the barbecue has heated up correctly you need to put the chicken on the grill but before you do make sure that you lightly oil it.
  • When you place them on the grill make sure that the heat underneath isn’t too high.
  • If you notice the outer part of the chicken is starting to char quickly then move them over to a cooler part of the barbecue and reduce the heat if possible.
  • You should be aiming to cook the chickens on each side for about 5 minutes, turning them every minute and basting them with some more of the marinade left in the bowl.
  • You should only remove them from the heat when they have turned a golden brown and are cooked all the way through.
  • The best way of testing to see that they are cooked all the way through is to push a skewer in to.
  • If the juices that flow out are clear then you know the chicken is properly cooked.
  • Remove from heat, then place on clean plates and spoon some of the sauce that you put aside earlier over them.
