Peri Peri Chicken
Serves 4
Ingredients
Method
1 Whole Chicken, Spatchcocked
125 ml Lemon Juice
125 ml Vegetable Oil
5 Garlic, Minced
30 g Peri-peri Chilies, Chopped
10 g Paprika
10 g Oregano
5 g Salt
In a bowl, combine lemon juice, vegetable oil, minced garlic, chopped peri-peri chilies, paprika, oregano, and salt. This is your peri-peri marinade.
Place the chicken in a dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure it is thoroughly covered. Let it marinate for at least 3 hours, but ideally overnight.
Preheat a grill or oven to 200°C.
Cook the chicken skin-side down first for 15 minutes, then flip and cook for another 25-30 minutes, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Baste the chicken with the remaining marinade throughout the grilling process.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
