Instructions

- Pour enough marinade over the chicken in a large bowl. Then use your hands to massage the marinade into the chicken. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. The longer, the better.
- Arrange the chicken in the baking pan, and pour the marinade in the bowl over it. Then put it in a 350°F oven.
- After 30 minutes, flip the chicken over and brush with more marinade, then leave to cook for another 30 minutes.
- It's ready, but you can love the ''char'' look on peri peri-peri chicken. You can turn on the grill function in your oven and grill the chicken (skin side up) for an additional 3 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy hot.
