Nando's Peri Peri Chicken Recipe

Step 1

Take the chicken drumsticks & thighs in a clean dry bowl. I have used skinless chicken pieces.. You may also you chicken pieces with skin.

Step 2

Slash each piece of the chicken diagonally a few times (2-3 slashes each piece depending on their sizes).

Step 3

Add salt, paprika & lemon juice to the chicken pieces and give them a good rub.

Step 4

Next, add the homemade peri peri sauce and rub well so that the chicken pieces are well coated with the marinade.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with a cling film and pop it in the fridge. Allow the marinated chicken to rest for at least 3-4 hours. You may also leave it over night.

Step 6

Next, over medium heat set an iron skillet grill. Brush olive oil and arrange the chicken pieces shaking off the excess marinade without over crowding. Cook them roatating side to side after few minutes until fully cooked. It should take you about 30 mins approximately. Brush them with olive oil or drizzle oil on the skillet while cooking the chicken.

Step 7

Serve hot. Enjoy. You may garnish it with more peri peri sauce or use the left over sauce if any as a dip. It tastes fabulous.
