Rosemary Grilled Chicken

Hello again....Yes, I've been on MIA for a while. 😊 Was really busy preparing for Koningsdag (King's Day) and the aftermath of it. It was my first time doing with my 2 sons, without my husband around. He had to work that day....but all in all, it went well!

Anyway...it took me a day or two to get back into tune. So, here I am.

Ok, back to what I had made...Rosemary Grilled Chicken. I happened to see a pot of rosemary at IKEA and couldn't resist myself. I just have to get it and I would think of something to make.... :)

Ingredients :

1 kg of drumsticks / a whole med sized chicken cut into 4 pieces

5-6 cloves of garlic (crushed) 

1 tbs dried rosemary leaves

1cm ginger

1tbs black pepper

1 tbs cumin (komijn)

2-3 tbs brown sugar

2 tsp salt

2 tbs lemon juice

3 tbs olive oil

Method:

1) Using the mortar & pestle, crush, grind the dried rosemary. Then add the black pepper and cumin. (do not have to grind them finely.)

2) Add the crushed garlic into the mortar. Then add the olive oil, brown sugar, salt and lemon juice. Mix them well. (as shown in the pic below) You may adjust the taste according to your liking.

3) Marinate the chicken for a couple of hours with the mix.

4) Grill the chicken at 180 - 200 deg for an hour.

5) Serve with mashed potatoes and salad.
