Ingredients:

Method:

1. Crush the garlic. Grate the ginger. Mix together in a shallow bowl which is big enough to take the chicken. You can blitz the garlic and ginger together if you have a food processor. Add the paprika, soy sauce and oil.
2. Place the chicken pieces in the shallow dish and smother with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for between 20 minutes and 24 hours, the longer the better.
3. Heat the grill to 400° F / 200° C. Place the chicken breasts on the grill, (skin side nearest the heat if this is relevant). Cook for about 7 minutes. Turn over and cook for about 5 more minutes. Check to see that the chicken is cooked all the way through.
4. If using skinless chicken breasts, you can cut the chicken into slivers. Place the slivers in the marinade. Push the pieces down so that they are well coated. Marinade for 20 minutes - 24 hours. Heat the grill to 400° F / 200° C. Grill for about 2 - 3 minutes and then turn the pieces over. Grill for another 1 - 2 minutes until the chicken is just cooked through.
5. Serve this grilled chicken marinade recipe with new potatoes or pasta and a large salad.
