Top tip for making Chilli chicken
Tips for cooking our chilli chicken recipe on the barbecue: Light the coals in plenty of time. It's best to wait for the coals to turn grey before starting to cook, which takes about 30 minutes. Then cook the chicken over a medium heat for about 15 mins, turning them regularly, and brushing over any extra marinade.
