Peri Peri Chicken Recipe
  1. For the peri peri sauce, add the peppers, garlic, paprika, cilantro and basil to a food processor. Process until well mixed.

  2. Drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to process until the mixture thickens up.

  3. Stir in the lemon juice and adjust for salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.

  4. Pat the chicken pieces dry and rub them down with the paprika, garlic, and salt and pepper. Cover and set aside.

  5. Cover the chicken with half of the peri peri sauce in a large bowl or baggie. Be sure to get the chicken nicely coated. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour to marinate.

  6. FOR BAKING: Bake the chicken for 35-40 minutes at 400 degrees F (204 C), or until they are nicely cooked through. They should measure 165 degrees F (74 C) internally.

  7. FOR GRILLING: Heat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates. Grill the chicken for about 35-40 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes to keep from burning, until they are cooked through. They should measure 165 degrees F (74 C) internally.

  8. Remove from the oven and toss in the remaining peri peri sauce.

  9. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and spicy chili flakes. Serve!
