Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade

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

2. Marinate the Chicken

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).

3. Wrap the Chicken Breasts

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

4. Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

5. Grill the Chicken

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.

6. Serve

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