Chicken - Our chicken legs and thighs recipe includes a peri-peri style seasoning, which makes it one of our most talked-about meats. Our gaucho chefs also wrap tender chicken breasts in savory bacon.

In a bowl, mix olive oil, peri-peri seasoning, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Prepare the Marinade

Add the chicken legs and thighs to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor).

Marinate the Chicken

Take the chicken breasts and wrap each one with two strips of bacon. Secure with toothpicks if needed.

Wrap the Chicken Breasts

Preheat the Grill

Place the marinated chicken legs and thighs on the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Grill the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through.

Grill the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the grill, let it rest for a few minutes, then serve hot with your choice of sides.
