Spicy Peri Peri Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup paprika
  • 2 tablespoons hot chili powder
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 bone-in chicken breast halves
Instructions
1
Combine the tangy flavor of lemon juice with the warm spices of paprika, chili powder, garlic, and ginger in a large bowl. Mix until the ingredients are harmoniously blended. Introduce chicken to the mixture and thoroughly coat it, allowing the flavors to penetrate evenly. Refrigerate for 3 hours to allow the marinade to work its magic.
2
Prepare a grill for medium heat by preheating it. Lightly brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
3
Carefully place the marinated chicken onto the preheated grill. Discard the excess marinade and focus on cooking the chicken to perfection.
4
Rotate the chicken occasionally as it cooks, allowing the skin to develop a delightful char and the juices to flow freely. Monitor its progress until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), ensuring the chicken is cooked through and safe to eat.
