Description

This grilled peri peri chicken recipe features a vibrant, flavor-packed marinade with fresh lemon juice, paprika, chili powder, garlic, and ginger.

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh lemon juice

• 1/4 cup paprika

• 2 tablespoons hot chili powder

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger

• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

• 4 bone-in chicken breast halves

Directions

1 Stir together lemon juice, paprika, chili powder, garlic, ginger, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Add chicken; rub until well coated and marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.

2 Preheat a grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grates.

3 Place chicken onto the preheated grill; discard marinade. Cook, turning occasionally, until skins are slightly charred and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
