👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare Marinade: Blend red bell pepper, chili peppers, garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika, oregano, and olive oil into a smooth paste. Season with salt.
2. Marinate Chicken: Make deep slits in the chicken thighs and rub the peri peri marinade generously all over, ensuring it gets into the slits. Marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
3. Cook Chicken: Preheat a grill or oven to medium-high heat (200°C/400°F). Grill or bake the chicken for 30-40 minutes, flipping occasionally, until cooked through and nicely charred, with an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
4. Rest and Serve: Remove from heat, let it rest for a few minutes, then serve hot with extra peri peri sauce or fresh lemon wedges.
