The best Portuguese style flame grilled chicken perfected in Mozambique on many fishing trips.
It is a lot of hard work but fun and well worth the effort .
Once tried it will become a firm favourite as a BBQ (BRAAI)
The secret is in the way it is cooked.
Its thirsty work so have plenty of beer on hand for the chef
