Pete and I braai quite often, actually very regularly and having lived in Mauritius for a period of 2 and a half years, we had to get accustomed to eating a lot more chicken than red meat due to the astronomical cost of meat which meant I had to get adventurous on occasion for a new flavour for a chicken braai (barbecue) plus one of the few fresh herbs available on the island is thyme. This marinade turned out nicer than I had anticipated. 🙂
