SPICY GRILLED CHICKEN STRIPS
Liven up your next barbecue with these tender marinated pieces of chicken breast, with a delicious spicy flavour. Very simple to make and fantastic hot or cold, ideal for picnics. I have used the marinade for turkey, pork fillets, prawns and even tuna steaks (cut marinade time down to 1 hour for fish). Serve with a bowl of yoghurt/cucumber/mint or a dip of sour cream with juice of 1/2 a lime and 1/4 teaspoon of paprika.

Steps:
- Slice the chicken breast into thin strips, about 1 inch wide and put into a bowl.
- Put all other ingredients (marinade) into a blender/liquidizer and whiz to a smooth paste.
- Mix the marinade thoroughly with the chicken strips, cover with cling film and leave in fridge for 4 hours or overnight if possible.
- Put grill to highest heat and spread chicken directly onto rack (leave marinade on chicken, don't wipe off), grill for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until almost black in patches.
- Note: You can also grill/broil this indoors, place a wire rack onto a baking sheet that has been lined with foil (to catch the drips) turn grill up to highest heat and cook 8-10 minutes.
- Recipe Idea: Try Chicken Kebabs, cube the chicken, marinade and just before cooking thread onto wooden skewers, remember to soak the skewers in water for an hour or so, before threading, to stop them burning.

SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS
Brown sugar gives these grilled chicken breasts a glistening glaze and caramel-like sweetness, while mustard powder and cayenne add an earthy kick. If you don't want to bother making a mustard sauce for dipping, just serve these with dollops of good, strong Dijon mustard on the side. A crisp salad and some grilled corn completes the meal. And if you prefer dark meat, this recipe will also work with boneless, skinless thighs, though you might have to add a minute or so to the cooking time. Or use a combination of breasts and thighs for maximum crowd appeal.

Steps:
- Place chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment or plastic wrap. Using a mallet or rolling pin, pound each to an even thickness of 1/2 inch. Do not make them any thinner or they could dry out.
- In a small bowl, combine sugar, coriander, salt, mustard powder and cayenne. Place chicken breasts in a bowl and rub well with spice mixture. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours. Remove chicken from fridge while you heat the grill.
- Light the grill, building a hot fire, or heat your gas grill to high. Once grill is fully heated, brush breasts lightly with olive oil and place chicken on the grill. Cook until undersides are browned and chicken is about halfway cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip breasts and grill until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more.
- Transfer chicken to a platter. In a small bowl, whisk together mustard and chives. Whisk in 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Serve chicken with mustard for dipping.
