One of my favourite braai foods that my mom makes is Braaied Chicken Wings. She makes her own chicken marinade for the braai, and it’s delicious.

I have seen my mom make this recipe a hundred times but couldn’t remember exactly how she makes her chicken marinade that good… So this time when I was there with her, I asked her what the secret was.

Turns out, the ingredients are very simple, the secret perhaps, is just that it is made with love. I had to write this down in order to give it a try myself.

(For those of you who are unsure what “braai” means, it’s our South African way of saying barbecue!)

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp Tomato sauce
• 1 tbsp Chutney
• 1 tbsp Soya sauce
• 1 tsp Chopped garlic
• A bit of Salt and pepper
• A bit of Cumin and coriander
• 250g Chicken wings

Method:

• Add all the ingredients into a cup and mix them together
• Grab your basting brush
• Add the chicken to the braai grill
• Turn the chicken every couple of minutes, basting the chicken with the marinade as you turn the chicken.
• The chicken wings will take about 25 minutes on a hot braai.
