Cameroon Style Barbecue Chicken

Prepare the marinade by blending onion, garlic, ginger, cayenne pepper, black pepper, paprika, thyme, salt, lime juice, and vegetable oil until smooth.

Add tomato paste and water to the marinade and blend until well combined.

Clean the whole chicken and make shallow cuts in the meat to help the marinade penetrate.

Rub the marinade all over the chicken, ensuring it gets into the cuts and cavities.

Cover the chicken and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off.

Place the chicken on the grill, breast side down, and cook for 15-20 minutes.

Flip the chicken and cook for another 15-20 minutes, basting with leftover marinade.

Check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 165°F.

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Serve with grilled vegetables and lime wedges.
