 This classic recipe for BBQ chicken has stood the test of time here at Fresh Meat Packs, and once you've tried it, you'll see why.

Ingredients

You need:

• The finest British chicken breast fillets. These will need to be tenderised with a mallet to an even 0.9cm or half an inch to prepare it for marinating.
• Vegetable oil. This will be the base of the marinade
• Garlic: to add depth to the flavours
• BBQ sauce. It can be any type you like. It will be applied as a glaze and provide a sweet, tangy, and smokey layer above the marinade.
• Various spices. To complete the flavours, you'll need salt, light brown sugar, smoked paprika, cumin, chilli powder and cayenne pepper.

For a meal designed to serve four diners, follow these portions:

• 1¾ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chilli powder
• ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• About 250ml of chosen barbecue sauce

Prepping the Chicken

Combine the dry spices with the garlic and oil in a large bowl until sufficiently mixed with a whisk. Add the chicken with tongs, evenly cover the breasts with the marinade, and leave them in the bowl. Place the covered bowl in the fridge for between 6 and 24 hours before cooking.

Barbequing the Chicken

Oil the cooking grill and pre-heat it to a high setting of 218°C - 232°C (425°F to 450°F)  to create a wider direct heat zone. Grill the chicken with the cover down for 2-3 minutes, then flip the breasts and apply a brush of barbeque sauce. Repeat this process for 10-20 minutes and check with your digital thermometer that the chicken is cooked all the way through at 73°C (165°F).

Serve on a serving platter with a fresh, summery salad.
