Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the marinade

   • Crush the garlic (with a little salt if desired) and mix with lemon zest and juice, curry powder, chilli flakes, olive oil and freshly ground black pepper into a paste. Use a mortar or a mini processor.
   • Toss the chicken thighs in the marinade, place in a bowl or bag and let sit for at least 20–30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for stronger flavour).
2. 2

   Grill

   • Light the barbecue until hot.
   • Place the herb bunches (rosemary, thyme) directly on the grill and lay the marinated chicken thighs, skin side up, on top.
   • Close the lid (if you have one) and cook for about 10 minutes until the meat begins to colour.
   • Turn the chicken and continue to cook for another 20–30 minutes, turning as needed, until slightly charred from the herbs and cooked through to the bone.
   • Let rest briefly before serving. Serve with lemon wedges.
