- 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated ginger, crushed garlic, melted red palm oil, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). This is your marinade.
- 2
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and rub to ensure they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for best flavor.
- 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400ยฐF or 200ยฐC).

Grill the chicken pieces for about 15-17 minutes per side, or until the skins are nicely charred and the juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach 165ยฐF (74ยฐC) for breasts and 190ยฐF (88ยฐC) for thighs and legs.

During the last few minutes of grilling, add the onion rings to the grill to soften and char slightly. Be careful not to burn them.
- 6
Serve the grilled chicken hot with the grilled onion rings and fresh tomato wedges.
