Tablespoon cumin seed
Tablespoon black treacle
Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic
Tablespoon olive oil
Sea salt
Teaspoon ground ginger
1 dried chilli

2. Crush the chilli and add to the bowl.
3. Add the cumin, treacle, vinegar and ground ginger and mix together.
4. Add the oil and mix in the salt.
5. Add the chicken pieces and thoroughly stir.
6. Leave for at least one hour before cooking on the barbecue.
7. Cook for about eight minutes on each side, not directly over the coals as the treacle will burn.'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹
