  1. Thoroughly wash the chicken inside and out and dry it with kitchen paper.
  2. With a fork or a toothpick, carefully prick the chicken breast (so the seasoning penetrates the meat better) and do the same on the thighs.

  6. Rub a layer of this paste in the breast and thighs.
  7. Rub the chicken inside and out with the rest.
