Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Peri Peri Chicken
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, and the juice of 2 freshly squeezed lemons. Add 2 tablespoons of paprika, 1 tablespoon of dried oregano, and 1 tablespoon of chili flakes along with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk the mixture until fully combined.
- Place your whole chicken or chosen protein in a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F) or your oven to 425°F.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Cook for about 30-40 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F, flipping halfway through.
- Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before serving, garnished with fresh herbs and lemon wedges.

Notes
For added flavor, pierce the chicken pieces before marinating. Baste with marinade while cooking for moisture retention.
