<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>
Start by preparing the Peri Peri marinade. In a bowl, combine the Peri Peri sauce, paprika, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until you have a smooth, cohesive marinade.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>
Take your whole chicken and make slashes in the flesh to allow the marinade to penetrate deeply. Place the chicken in a large dish and rub the marinade all over it, inside and out. Ensure it's well coated, then cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>
Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat (about 200°C or 390°F). If you're using an oven, preheat it to the same temperature.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>
Place the marinated chicken on the grill (or in a roasting tin if using an oven), breast side up. If grilling, close the lid and grill for about 1 hour 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a skewer. If roasting, cover with foil and place in the oven, removing the foil for the last 20 minutes to crisp up the skin.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a serving platter and let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken juicier.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>
If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Cut into quarters or serve whole at the center of the table, allowing everyone to help themselves and enjoy the succulent, spicy chicken. This dish pairs wonderfully with sides of your choice.
