Cooking Instructions
Marinating tips:
1 The key with marinating, is time – don’t marinate your meat for 20 minutes and expect it to be popping with flavour. You need at least an hour for the flavours to infuse, preferably more – even overnight in the fridge!
2 Place the meat and marinade in a (reusable) plastic bag so that you can turn the bag after a while and ensure an equal distribution of the sauce.
3 Keep basting as you grill, especially when you’re cooking on the braai: add more marinade from the bottle as you go, to impart optimum flavour.

Marinated grilled chicken + salad
Serves 4
Prep time: 1 hour
Cooking time: 10 minutes on the oven, more over the fire
- Place the chicken into the marinade bag and allow to stand for 1 hour, or even better, overnight.
- Heat a griddle pan on the stove. Cook the chicken breasts on either side for 3 minutes, then finish the cooking process in the oven for 8 minutes on 180°C. If cooking on the braai, continue until cooked through. Baste with the marinade while braaing.
- Serve with Woolworths Herb Salad tossed with sliced radish, exotic tomatoes and shaved carrot, dressed with readymade dressing – we love the basil and white balsamic dressing.
