Chicken Skilpadjies on the Braai with Roasted Seasonal Vegetables, Grilled Lemons and Sun-dried tomato Pesto
– Cathedral Cellar Pinotage
These chicken skilpadjies are wonderfully versatile and can be cooked summer through winter. We have roasted them here on an open fire with seasonal vegetables and they couldn’t be better. This recipe is ideal for entertaining guests around the fire and can serve a large group of people. Adapt the recipe to what is available. We serve it with our favourite sun dried tomato pesto which is super easy to make and lasts forever in the fridge.
