Braai Chicken Tips from my Dad 🔥🍗

1️⃣ Prepare the chicken properly
Score the chicken all the way down to the bone so the marinade can soak into the meat. Trim off any excess skin or fat, as this can burn quickly on the braai.

2️⃣ Marinate the right way
Start with wet ingredients like olive oil, chilli sauce, and lemon juice to tenderise the meat. Mix well before adding dry spices so everything coats evenly. Marinate for a few hours or overnight for maximum flavour.

3️⃣ Build a two-zone fire
Prepare your fire with both high and low heat. This allows you to move the chicken around and control the cooking for even doneness.

4️⃣ Braai low and slow
Brush the braai grid with lemon to prevent sticking and add flavour. Place the thinner end of the bone toward the cooler side of the braai. Turn the chicken often and season continuously to develop layers of flavour — whatever you do on one side, do on the other.

5️⃣ Finish with lemon & herbs
Baste with lemon juice while cooking for moisture and a fresh citrus finish. Add herb spices at the end so they don’t lose their aroma. The chicken is done when there’s no blood coming from the bone.

🔥 Save this for your next braai and comment if you want more dad-approved tips!
