The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic Mozambican version of: Barbecued Chicken (Frango de Cafreal).
Combine the chillies, garlic and ginger in a mortar and pound to a paste. Work in the salt, paprika and oil and mix to a smooth paste.
Prick the chickens all over with a sharp-tined fork then rub both outside and in with the chilli, garlic and ginger paste. Place in a roasting tin, cover and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes. In the meantime, pre-heat your barbecue.
After this time, split the chickens in half then place each half on the hot barbecue and grill for about 25 minutes per side, or until thoroughly cooked through.
