The unique combination of chili peppers, garlic, and a blend of spices creates a mouth-watering marinade that infuses the chicken with rich and vibrant flavors.

- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
- If you prefer a milder version, you can reduce the amount of chili peppers or remove the seeds before blending.
- Grill the chicken for a smoky flavor, or bake it in the oven if you prefer a more hands-off approach.
- To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before marinating.
- Pair your Piri piri chicken with a cooling side like yogurt cucumber salad to balance the heat.
