Grilled Moroccan Chicken - the marinade
Heat the barbecue to medium. Lay the chicken on the grill. Barbecue (uncovered) for 5 minutes. Turn the chicken and barbecue the other side for 5 minutes. Turn off the back burner and place the chicken over the unlit burner. Cover and barbecue for another 12 - 15 minutes or until the chicken feels springy when pressed. If you are using boneless chicken thighs, then reduce the cooking by about 8 minutes.
