2 Fresh Chillies(de-seeded and chopped finely)

1 Lime (Zested and Squeezed)

1 Medium White Onion (Finely diced)

3 cloves Garlic (Finely Chopped)

1 tsp Cracked Blacked Pepper

1 tsp Sea Salt

50 ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 tbsp Smoked Paprika

2 tbsp Light Brown Sugar

Keep things simple, prepare all of your ingredients and place them into a bowl as you go.

It's that easy.

If you're using this on chicken portions you may want to score the skin and flesh to allow the flavours to penetrate deeper into the meat

Place the meat into a sealable bag and add your marinade, squeeze out as much air as possible and seal. Ensure the all of the meat is covered with the marinade.

Place on the bottom shelf of the fridge and leave for a minimum of 4 hours but preferably 24-48 hours for maximum impact
