Maple Syrup and Ginger Flavored Chicken Breasts

Ingredients (4 portions)

• 4 chicken breasts or 8 chicken legs

Marinade

• 85 ml (1/3 cup) maple syrup
• 125 ml (1/2 cup) orange juice
• 60 ml (1/4 cup) Dijon mustard
• 60 ml (1/4 cup) vegetable oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 30 ml (2 tbsp.) ginger, minced
• Pepper to taste

Method

1. Combine all marinade ingredients.
2. Trim off fat or excess skin from chicken and marinade for at least 2 hours in the maple syrup mixture.
3. Preheat the barbecue to medium-high.
4. When the chicken is on the barbecue, prepare sauce. Remove chicken pieces from the marinade. DO NOT dispose of the marinade! Cook it over medium-high heat (boil for at least 5 minutes to ensure that all bacteria are destroyed!) to reduce to a consistency of sauce, for serving with the chicken. Barbecue chicken for about 4 minutes on each side.
