To marinate chicken, use a sharp knife to cut slits 1 cm deep into the chicken pieces- 3 slits per drumstick and 4 to 5 per thigh. Place the chicken in a large dish. Spread the marinade all over the chicken and leave to marinate for at least 12 hours in the fridge, but not more than 2 days . Bring chicken to room temperature before grilling on a BBQ or using the grill setting on high in your oven. Turn the chicken as often as needed to prevent burning but allow it to develop a dark char for maximum flavour.

If some caramelised onion sticks to the bottom of the mixing bowl, in the next step, the vinegar will dissolve it almost completely.
