Ingredients
Directions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all the Piri Piri marinade ingredients. Reserve 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the marinade for basting during grilling.
- Place the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken, making sure it's well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
- Grill the chicken, skin-side down, for 10-15 minutes, until the skin is browned and slightly charred. Turn the chicken over and baste with the reserved marinade. Continue grilling for another 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting into serving portions. Serve with lemon wedges and fresh cilantro.
