Step 1
Start by creating a few random cuts into your chicken, through the skin.
Step 2
Then add the peri peri sauce, lime juice, salt and black pepper to the chicken and use your hands to marinate and massage the sauce into the chicken.
Step 3
Leave the Chicken to marinate for as long as possible. If you are in a hurry, keep minimum 2-3 hours to marinate. Best is to keep over night and day.
Step 4
When you are ready to cook the chicken, preheat your oven to 180 Celsius/ 350 Fahrenheit.
Step 5
Place the meat into a ceramic baking dish and cover the chicken with the marination. Then sprinkle some olive oil over the chicken.
Step 6
Roast your chicken for about 30-35 minutes or until the thermometer shows 75 Celsius/ about 170 Fahrenheit. While the chicken is roasting, make sure to baste the meat with olive oil frequently, so that the meat remains nice and juice. I usually like to use the oil and marination mixture which turns into a sauce at the foot of the chicken, to cover my chicken with moisture.
Step 7
After you have roasted the chicken, keep the peri peri chicken for another 5-8 minutes in the grilled mode in your oven. That way you will get a lovely crust on top of your chicken.
