Peri Peri Chicken

Shopping list

• Chicken - either 4 breast fillets, 8 thigh fillets or 12 chicken wings
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1" piece of ginger
• the rind of ½ lemon
• 5 tbsp of lemon juice
• 2 tbsp of olive oil or low cal spray
• 1 tsp of salt
• Peri Peri Seasoning Mix

Preparing

Peel and finely chop the garlic and ginger, and grate the rind of half a lemon.  Skin the chicken and score each piece several times (if using breast fillets, cut into strips), then place into a bowl and add the contents of both the Peri Peri Seasoning Mix Sachets. Add the garlic, ginger, lemon rind, oil and lemon juice. Mix all the ingredients, ensuring all the chicken is evenly coated. Leave to stand in a fridge for 30 mins.

Cooking

1. Heat the oven to gas mark 7 or 220 ºC before transferring the chicken onto a roasting tray and placing in the oven.

2. Cook for approximately 15 mins, then turn the chicken over and cook for a further 15 mins.

3. When the chicken is cooked, season to taste, add lemon wedges and serve with couscous and salad.

Tip: Try cooking on a barbeque for 30 mins, turning occasionally.
