1 tbsp Olive oil

1 tsp Garlic, minced/paste

Step 1 – In a blender, add all of the ingredients for the marinade plus 1 tbsp water. Blitz till smooth. Test for salt.
Score the chicken pieces and pour 3/4 of the marinade over the chicken, mix well to coat. Marinate for at least 2-3 hours. Reserve the remaining marinade.
