Love this recipe - I've been using it for about a year now & am still enjoying it! I prefer thigh/leg meat mind. Perfect for BBQs when the sun is shining & perfect for the oven for when you want that sunshine feeling! - 25 Apr 2013
Pretty good recipe. I grew up eating and cooking the Piri-Piri chicken. As most who read the reviews advised, never get rid of the remaining marinade. It's the life of the chicken. You need to baste it on the chicken while grilling, as the chicken can run dry. And that is where all the flavour is. I would recomend to leave the chicken in the marinade overnight for best results. - 03 May 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Extremely easy to make and ingredients you probably have on hand. I marinated it overnite so the lemon flavor was really infused in the chicken. Couldn't grill it - so I baked it in the oven at 375 degrees for 40 min. and then popped it under the broiler for a few minutes to get a nice crusty skin. Thanks submitter. - 03 Feb 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
