Grilled Chicken, Lemon and Chile Bites by Celebity Chef – Chef Jolly

Experience a burst of flavour with this grilled chicken starter. Canola oil’s mild taste is a great match for marinades, letting the other flavours shine through and helping them meld. The oil also keeps the chicken from sticking to the grill.

Preparation time: 30 minutes

Cooking time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

1 tsp dried chile flakes

1/4 cup lemon juice 60 ml

4 cloves garlic, crushed

pinch salt

1/2 tsp black pepper powder
