Notes
* The Oil & Vinegar brand Smoky BBQ mix from South Africa is a unique and delicious rub. You can use an alternative, but remember that the taste and quality of your rub will make all the difference. Here is a homemade option too. You will have extra spice mix to save for another batch of chicken
2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika
1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon red chili flakes or ground chipotle peppers
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon dried lemon powder
Salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Mix together and store in an airtight container.
The Roasted Garlic grapeseed oil adds an extra layer of flavor to the marinade, but a good quality oil and a teaspoon of minced garlic can be used instead.
