Coat the chicken in lemon juice.

Mix the spices well and coat the chicken with the spices.
3
Rest the chicken in the fridge for roughly 1 hour before cooking.
4
Start the fire while the chicken is in the fridge, or preheat the oven to 180°C.

If braaing, place the chicken on a hot braai grid over medium warm coals, and braai for 40-50 minutes, turning every 15 minutes. If oven roasting – transfer chicken to an oven tray and roast for 30-40 minutes.

Make the chakalaka while the chicken is braaing by slowly cooking the onion in the oil for 8 minutes - don’t let it burn.
