  1. Santorini Braai Chicken
    Tender, juicy chicken marinated overnight in BlixSam Santorini Injection Marinade, then braaied over the coals with Mediterranean herbs and bright citrus flavour.
    Ingredients
    • 8 chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks or leg quarters)
    • ½ bottle BlixSam Santorini Injection Marinade
    • 2 tbsp olive oil
    • 2 tsp BlixSam Lemon Melt
    • 2 tsp BlixSam Pasta a la Sam
    • Freshly ground black pepper
    Lemon Butter (Optional)
    • 3 tbsp butter, melted
    • 1 tsp BlixSam Lemon Melt
    • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
    Method
    Step 1 – Marinate
    • Place the chicken pieces in a large dish or zip-top bag.
    • Pour over the BlixSam Santorini Injection Marinade, ensuring every piece is well coated.
    • Cover and refrigerate overnight for maximum flavour.
    Step 2 – Prepare
    • Remove the chicken from the marinade and lightly shake off any excess.
    • Drizzle with the olive oil.
    • Season generously with:
    ◦ BlixSam Lemon Melt
    ◦ BlixSam Pasta a la Sam
    ◦ Freshly ground black pepper
    Step 3 – Braai
    • Prepare a medium-hot fire.
    • Braai the chicken for 8–10 minutes per side, turning occasionally until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 75°C).
    • During the last few minutes, brush lightly with a little of the reserved Santorini marinade for an extra burst of Mediterranean flavour.
    Step 4 – Lemon Butter Baste
    • Mix the melted butter with the BlixSam Lemon Melt and parsley.
    • Brush the chicken with the lemon butter during the final minute of braaing and again just before serving.
    Serve With
    • Grilled lemon wedges
    • Greek salad
    • Roasted baby potatoes
    • Warm pita bread
    The overnight BlixSam Santorini Injection Marinade keeps the chicken incredibly tender and juicy, while BlixSam Lemon Melt and BlixSam Pasta a la Sam create a fresh Mediterranean herb crust that's perfect for the braai.
