We south Africans love our chicken - we eat well over a million tons of it a year.  And whenever we do, we season it the only way we know how...with tons of flavour!

Whatever's on tonight's menu - finger licking chicken, hake fillets, juicy lamb chops, massage in some Chicken spice...guaranteed you'll wish you'd made more.

It's not only our mix of cultures that's made us the rainbow nation, it's our mix of food too. The Portuguese gave us their unique way of spicing up chicken - and today it's part of our cultural melting pot! For the authentic taste of Portugal, brush chicken (whole, spatchcocked or pieces) with oil and sprinkle generously with seasoning, then grill, braai or bake. Great on other meats and seafood too.

Ingredients for the perfect braai: glimmering coals, cool drinks, good friends and family, a sunny sky and meat so tender it falls off the bone! Massage into meat and chicken. Set aside for 30 minutes, cook�and savour!
