Cook's tip:

Twist 1: For a pork variation, use 500 g boneless pork loin chops in place of the chicken. Grill for 15 minutes, turning once, or until cooked through.

Twist 2: For a fruit variation, use fresh peaches or pineapple for additional delicious salsas.

Twist 3: For an Indian-inspired version, stir 1tsp mild curry paste into the marinade.
