Ingredients
Original recipe (14 servings) → 14 servings
- •7 lb Chicken
- •1 tbsp Paprika
- •1 tbsp Cayenne
- •1 tbsp Onion Powder
- •1 tbsp Garlic Powder
- •1 tbsp Parsley
- •1 tbsp All Purpose Seasonings
- •1 tbsp Black Pepper
- •1 tbsp Salt
- •1 cup Nando's Peri Peri Sauce
Directions
Prepare the chicken: Pat the 7 lb of chicken dry with paper towels and place it in a large bowl or food-safe container
Make the spice blend: In a small bowl, combine the paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, all-purpose seasoning, black pepper, and salt.
Season the chicken: Sprinkle the spice blend evenly over the chicken. Rub the seasonings thoroughly into all sides of each piece.
Add the Peri-Peri Sauce: Pour the Nando’s Peri-Peri Sauce over the seasoned chicken and toss or massage until every piece is evenly coated.
Marinate: Cover the chicken and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For a deeper, more intense flavor, marinate for up to 2 hours.
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a large baking dish or on lined baking trays. Wrap with banana leaf (optional)
Bake the chicken: Bake for approximately 45–60 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of the chicken pieces. Turn or baste the chicken halfway through cooking for even flavor and browning.
Check for doneness: The chicken is ready when the thickest part reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Rest and serve: Allow the Spicy Peri Peri Chicken to rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Serve hot with rice, fries, salad, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side dishes.
