Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Peri Peri Chicken.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large bowl and mixing together the fresh lemon juice, paprika, hot chili powder, minced garlic, chopped ginger, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Stir everything together until the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 3
Next, take your chicken breast halves and gently massage the marinade all over them, making sure each piece is well coated.
Step 4
Cover the bowl and let the chicken soak up those delicious flavors in the refrigerator for at least three hours, or even better, overnight if you have the time.
Step 5
This step is key for juicy, flavorful chicken! When you're ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium heat and give the grates a light oiling to keep the chicken from sticking.
Step 6
Once the grill is hot, take the chicken out of the marinade and toss the marinade away.
Step 7
Place the chicken on the grill and let it sizzle away, turning it occasionally.
Step 8
You’ll know it’s done when the skin is slightly charred and the juices run clear, which should take about 30 minutes.
Step 9
For peace of mind, use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Enjoy the tantalizing aroma as your chicken cooks, and get ready for a delicious meal that’s sure to impress!.
