About Braai chicken
Braai chicken is a flavorful dish originating from South African barbecue traditions, known as "braai." Typically marinated in a blend of spices, herbs, garlic, lemon juice, and oil, this dish is cooked over open flames or hot coals, imparting a smoky and charred essence. The marinade often includes paprika, chili, or peri-peri for a spicy kick, though recipes can vary widely in heat level and complexity. With high protein content, braai chicken is a nutritious option that promotes muscle repair and satiety. When made with skinless chicken and minimal added oil, it becomes a leaner choice. However, portions with skin or excessive added fats, along with high-sodium marinades, should be consumed in moderation. Rich in flavor and tradition, braai chicken is an iconic representation of South African cuisine and communal meals. Paired with vibrant salads or grilled vegetables, it can be part of a balanced diet.
