1 - step 1 Make the marinade.

2 - Smash the garlic with a little salt using a pestle and mortar.

3 - Add the lemon zest and juice, the spice mix, chilli, oil and a good grinding of black pepper.

4 - Mix to a paste.

5 - This can be done in a mini food processor.

6 - step 2 Toss the chicken in the marinade and set aside while you light the barbecue.

7 - When the barbecue’s hot, lay the bunches of herbs on the grid and put the chicken, skin side up, on top.

8 - Close the lid, if your barbecue has one, and cook the chicken on the smouldering herbs for about 10 minutes until the meat starts to colour.

9 - Turn the chicken and continue to cook for a further 20-30 minutes, turning as necessary, until it is slightly charred from the burnt herbs and cooked through to the bone.
