• Rub the marinade all over the chicken and leave overnight in a sealed container for best results
• Cooking: Preheat the oven to 180C  and roast for an hour or grill it on the BBQ
• After about 45 mins or more frequently on the BBQ baste with the piri-piri sauce on both sides, flipping over a few times
