• 1 tablespoon grated peeled ginger

• 2 teaspoons paprika

• 1 1/2 colheres de chá de coentro moído

• 2 whole chickens (about 1.6kg each), cut into 10 serving pieces (see cook’s note below)

Cook garlic, ginger, spices, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in oil in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add pomegranate juice and boil until reduced to 240ml , 12 to 19 minutes. Remove from heat, and then add jam and molasses and stir until jam has melted. Cool (it will thicken slightly).

Move to area with no coals underneath (or over turned off burner for gas) and brush with some of sauce.
