Peel the cloves of garlic and place them in your mortar Add 1 whole red chilli Add a good pinch of sea salt Add a good pinch of peppercorns Add a good pinch of cumin seeds (toast the cumin seeds in a dry pan first, on a high heat wait till you hear the little fella's popping and your met with a fantastic smell, don't burn em!)

Now the fun bit, give it all a good pounding with your pestle and mortar until a paste develops, add the good glug of oil and the juice of 1 lime, give it a goo mix and you're good to go!

Pour over chicken (fillets, leg, breast, anything you want) get your hands involved and give the chicken a good bath in the mix.

Leave in the fridge for a few hours and cook.
