Ingredients
  

For the marinade

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the chicken

  • 4 pieces chicken thighs or breasts
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a bowl, mix the peri peri sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Coat the chicken pieces thoroughly with the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes.

Baking

  • Place the marinated chicken in a baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden color.

Serving

Notes

Marinate the chicken overnight for stronger flavor. Using bone-in chicken can enhance juiciness. Add vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the baking dish for a complete meal. To adjust spice levels, reduce the amount of peri peri sauce used.
