Instructions
Creating delicious Peri Peri Chicken can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, mix the peri peri sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for more flavor).
3. Preheat Oven or Grill: If baking, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Cook Chicken:
– *For Oven*: Place marinated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.
– *For Grill*: Place marinated chicken on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Rest Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven or grill and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes.
6. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
