Mix all the ingredients together very well using your fingers and leave for at least 8 hours to marinate.

Brush frying pan with cooking oil, heat the pan over heat until the oil begins to smoke, remove from the heat and leave for 5 minutes, now place some chicken pieces in the frying pan but do not overcrowd. Cook for about 10 minutes over a low flame turning the pieces once or twice. Then place the frying pan under a pre-heated grill turn the grill to medium heat and cook until the pieces start to burn (but do not burn them) during that time turn the pieces from time to time remove from the grill and serve with a salad or minty yoghurt sauce.
