Ingredients

  • oil
  • 1 chicken, cut into pieces

Method

Take your chicken legs and thighs and sprinkle them with oil. Put the legs and thighs in the oven for 10 minutes before you actually put them on the barbecue as they take a lot longer to cook than the other parts of the chicken.

Once the legs and thighs have been in the oven for about 10 minutes, take them out and put them on the barbecue. Cook them for about 5-6 minutes until you get a nice brown colour.

You can flatten the breasts between sheets of cling film, then cook them for about 3 minutes.
