Ingredients:

• For the Marinade:

  • 1/2 cup peri peri sauce (store-bought or homemade) HOMEMADE PERI PERI SAUCE RECIPE

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance the heat)

• For the Chicken:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts (you can use drumsticks or wings as well)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:

   • In a bowl, mix together the peri peri sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, oregano, and sugar.

2. Marinate the Chicken:

   • Place the chicken pieces in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.

   • Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

3. Preheat the Grill:

   • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F or 190°C to 200°C).

4. Grill the Chicken:

   • Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.

   • Place the chicken on the grill skin-side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes, then flip and grill for another 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

5. Baste with Marinade (Optional):

   • If you want extra flavor, baste the chicken with leftover marinade during the last few minutes of grilling.

6. Serve:

   • Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

   • Serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.

Enjoy your delicious BBQ Peri Peri Chicken!

Tips:

• Adjust the amount of peri peri sauce based on your heat preference.

• You can also bake the chicken in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 30-40 minutes if you don't have a grill.
