How to Make Peri Peri African Chicken
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Rub the marinade thoroughly over 4 lbs whole chicken (or 8 chicken pieces). Place the chicken in a resealable bag or a shallow dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F). Clean the grill grates well.
- Place the chicken on the preheated grill, discarding the marinade.
- Grill for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. The skin should be beautifully charred and crispy.
- Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
