Ingredients

Preparation

Grilled chicken with paprika is one of my favourite dish and I hope you enjoy not just the taste but the joy of cooking this dish.

• Add the marinade ingredients into a mixing bowl  and stir for a couple of minutes until all the ingredients are mixed. Wash and prepare the chicken pieces and add to the marinade, making sure you cover all the pieces with the marinade. Cover the chicken pieces and place a cool place for 24-36 hours to allow the marinade to infuse. To ensure you get the best flavor from your grilled chicken with paprika it’s essential you marinade the chicken for at least 24 hours.

• Prepare the basting mixture by adding the paprika to some lemon juice and allow to stand. Take a small saucepan and heat the butter until melted over a slow heat. Add the paprika and lemon juice to the butter and allow to stand for a few minutes.

• Start the grill and oil the grill plate to ensure your chicken pieces do not stick during cooking. Remove the chicken pieces from the fridge and insert the skewers making sure that you put the chicken pieces skin side down on your grill allowing them to go brown and crisp. Depending on the chicken cut you are using, cook the chicken skewers for around 20 minutes remembering to turn them at regular intervals.

• During the cooking process baste the grilled chicken pieces with the melted butter and paprika to taste and enjoy our grilled chicken with paprika recipe.
