What makes this Peri Peri Chicken so special? It all begins with the marinade. Our recipe blends fiery African Bird’s Eye chillies (the heart of peri-peri), garlic, lemon juice, paprika, oregano, and a touch of smoked paprika for that authentic, smoky flavor. The longer you marinate the chicken, the more intense and delicious the flavor will be.
This recipe uses bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces for maximum flavor and juiciness. As it roasts or grills, the skin crisps up beautifully, trapping all the delicious peri-peri flavors within. The result is a chicken that’s intensely flavorful, slightly spicy, and incredibly satisfying.
Whether you prefer a gentle warmth or a fiery kick, you can easily adjust the spice level to your liking. Simply increase or decrease the number of chillies in the marinade.
