Prepare the marinade by adding a pinch of salt to thyme and pounding it.

Add smoked paprika to the thyme mixture.

Pour in about 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a tad of vinegar into the mixture.

Massage the marinade into the chicken.

Ideally marinate the chicken for 16 hours, but use a pre-marinated chicken for cooking.

Season the chicken with sea salt from a height before cooking.

Place the chicken skin-side down into a preheated griddle pan for 5-10 minutes.

Prepare sweet potato fries by seasoning with salt, pepper, and a little oil, then add smoked paprika.

Add semolina to the sweet potato fries to make them crunchy and shake them around.

Bake the chicken in the oven at 180ºC (350ºF) for about 30 minutes.

Prepare two salsas: one with jalapeños, fresh coriander, and oil in a liquidizer.

For the second salsa, blend charred red and green chilis, garlic in skins, and tomatoes with oil, vinegar, salt, and lemon juice.

Chop the cooked chicken and serve with salsa and fresh chilis on top.
