Chicken Marinade

Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs, suya spice mix, vegetable oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for more flavor.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your charcoal grill until it is hot. Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Place the chicken thighs on the preheated grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

  2. 4

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Prepare the Garnish

    While the chicken is resting, prepare the garnish by combining shredded cabbage, sliced red onion, diced tomatoes, and chopped parsley in a bowl. Toss gently to mix.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Slice the grilled chicken thighs and serve on a plate. Top with the cabbage and onion garnish. Enjoy your Chicken Suya Combo!
