Prepare the grilling surface: If using a traditional madbi grill with stones, heat them until very hot. If using a grill pan or outdoor grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. You can also adapt this for oven baking.
💡 Profesjonelle tips: Ensure the grill is clean to prevent sticking. - 4
Cook the chicken: Place the marinated chicken pieces on the hot grill or grill pan. Grill for about 20-25 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. For oven baking, place chicken on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 40-50 minutes, turning halfway through.
⏱️ 40-50 minutes - 5
Make the sauce (optional): While the chicken is grilling, in a small saucepan, combine tomato paste and water. Simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened. This can be served as a dipping sauce.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Serve: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, traditionally with Yemeni flatbread (like Malawach or Khobz), rice, and a side salad.
