Equipment

Chopping board, BBQ grill

4 people

4 chicken leg

1 tbsp thyme leaves

25 g parsley

25 g coriander

1 shallot, chopped

3 spring onions, chopped

3 garlic cloves

3 cm ginger

2 scotch bonnets

0.5 tsp smoked paprika

0.5 tsp cumin

0.5 tsp turmeric

1 tsp salt

2 tbsp oil

1 tbsp cider vinegar

3 tbsp mayonnaise

RECIPE STEPS
1
Lay your chicken legs on a chopping board and cut a line down the underside to reveal the bone. Carefully cut out the thigh bone, slicing cleanly through the join. Open up the reverse of the drum but keep the bone in. Transfer to a baking dish.
2
Blitz all remaining ingredients together in the Food Pro. Set aside 2tbsp of the seasoning and pour the rest over the chicken, rubbing the marinade into all the folds and creases. Leave for 30 minutes.
3
Light the barbecue, leaving the coals just to one side. Lay the chicken legs directly over the coals, skin-side down. Leave for 10 minutes and then flip. Leave for another 10 minutes and then move to the side without coals to finish cooking for 20 minutes.
4
Mix the mayonnaise with the remaining green seasoning and after the legs have been cooked for 20 minutes, brush the top of the legs with the seasoning mayonnaise and put back over the fire so the mayonnaise is in direct contact with the fire.
5
After 3 minutes brush the other side and flip to crisp up. Once golden and crispy, remove from the grill and serve.
