Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine the olive oil, piri piri sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

2

Marinate the Capon

Place the capon breast in a large resealable bag or dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the capon is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

3

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

4

Roast the Capon

Remove the capon from the marinade and place it on a roasting pan. Reserve the marinade. Roast in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

5

Rest and Serve

Once cooked, remove the capon from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
