3. Once the marinate is ready, taste it and adjust accordingly, It should have a sweet, savory and slightly spicy note to it. Adjust if necessary. layer by layer, marinate the chicken and massage the marinate into the cavities of the chicken before placing it into a chiller to chill for at least 4 hours, better if marinated for 24 hours.
4. Whilst waiting for the chicken to marinate, chop up the zucchinis about 2.5inch length thick matchsticks and set aside
5. Once chicken in marinated, place 2 – 3 zucchini match sticks in the middle of the flesh of the chicken and roll into a roulade, tie the roulade with butcher string to secure the chicken and repeat for all chicken
6. In a large pan, brown the chicken on all sides before placing the chicken on a baking rack, brush with more marinate and roast at 170c for 10 minutes in a oven
Notes
To ensure the chicken is fully cooked, poke a knife through, if white liquid comes out, it means it’s ready. Whereas, if red or pink liquid comes out, it may not be ready just yet. Just cook it for an extra few minutes.
