Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with Piri Piri sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Ensure that the chicken is well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Roasted Red Peppers

    In a small saucepan, heat the roasted red peppers over medium heat. Stir in honey and cook for about 5 minutes until heated through and slightly caramelized.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat the grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  4. 4

    Serve

    Plate the grilled chicken and top with the honey-glazed roasted red peppers. Drizzle basil pesto over the chicken and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve hot.
