Preparation method

1.  In a large bowl place the chilli, garlic, paprika, mustard, honey, ketchup, oil and seasoning.  Mix well and set aside 2 tbsp of the marinade.

2.  Add the chicken to the bowl of marinade and coat thoroughly, cover with cling film and allow to marinade for 5-10 minutes.

3.  If using a grill pan or grill, put it over a high heat to get it steaming hot.  Use tongs to transfer your chicken onto the grill or grill pan.  For chicken about 1 inch thick, cook for about 5 minutes on each side, turning and basting until golden and cooked through.  Spoon a little of the reserved sauce over the chicken.
