    Preparation Steps

    1

    Prepare the marinade: in a bowl, combine the peri-peri sauce, crushed garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, Hungarian Sweet Paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

    2

    Thoroughly coat the chicken pieces with the marinade, ensuring every side is covered. Let it marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

    3

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), or prepare a grill for medium heat.

    4

    Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the meat is cooked through. If grilling, cook the chicken on both sides for 20-25 minutes, turning frequently.

    5

    Before serving, garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with roasted vegetables, salad, or steamed rice.
