A twist on the classic idea of whole braaied chicken, this recipe has been made more convenient with the use of Pesto Princess readymade Butter Chicken sauce. A fragrant and delicious main course, the smoky spicy chicken pairs beautifully with Alto Cabernet Sauvignon 2021.

Ingredients

– 1.5kg whole chicken
– 1 sachet Pesto Princess Butter Chicken sauce
– 30ml neutral oil (like avocado or coconut)
– 2 Tbsp plain yoghurt
– 3 garlic cloves, crushed
– 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, grated
– 4 chillies, finely chopped
– Sea salt
– Readymade naan bread, to serve
– Pickled red onion, to serve
– Chopped pineapple, to serve
– Cucumber raita
– Fresh mint leaves, to serve

Directions

Use sharp kitchen scissors or a knife to butterfly the chicken. In a bowl, combine the Butter Chicken sauce with the oil, yoghurt, garlic, ginger, chillies and salt to taste.
Pour the marinade over the chicken to thoroughly coat and leave to marinate for an hour or overnight.
In a kettle braai over indirect heat, cook the chicken for an hour to an hour and a half until done. Just before the chicken is done, brush the naan breads with a little oil and lightly grill over the coals.
Place the chicken and the naan bread on a platter and scatter over fresh mint leaves and pickled red onion.
Serve the chicken with chopped pineapple, a cucumber raita and Alto Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
