Method
Marinade Preparation
Combine Marinade Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the Piri Piri sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Cooking the Chicken
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more tender chicken. Serve with additional Piri Piri sauce if desired.
