An excellent recipe for cold or cloudy days.

Having a few friends round and the weather's not to good, perhaps they want to watch the football and perhaps you do too!

This recipe requires little attention and is easy to barbecue while you watch the match.

Purchase enough chicken to allow 3 pieces each, Try a mixture of chicken drumsticks and thighs.

With a sharp knife carefully cut or slice the chicken part way through, this will allow the flavours to penetrate the meat during cooking.

Make a large boat with 2 layers of silver foil

Pour the sauce into the boat and add the garlic . Toss the chicken in the mixture to coat, sprinkle with the parsley and leave to marinate for an hour or more (overnight is best).

35 minutes before kickoff, prepare and light the barbecue to cook indirectly  (there is no need for a drip tray).
