Ingredients

  • 1⁄4 cup Piri Piri Dry Glaze
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 2 lbs (900 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 limes, halved, optional

Preparation

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
  2. Meanwhile, in a bowl or plastic bag, combine glaze with oil; add chicken and toss (or massage bag) to evenly coat. If you have extra time, let stand 10 min or cover and refrigerate overnight.
  3. Place chicken on grill; reduce heat to medium. Barbecue with lid closed, 6–8 min per side or until cooked all the way through. If using, add limes, cut side down, for last minute of grilling.
  4. Remove from grill. Once cooled slightly, squeeze limes over chicken and serve.
