Method

1

Pat chicken dry with paper towels; season lightly with salt.

2

Whisk together hot sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, ginger, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until smooth.

3

Coat chicken pieces thoroughly with peri peri sauce, reserving 1/4 cup for basting. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, or refrigerate up to 8 hours.

4

Heat grill to medium-high (400°F). Oil grates lightly. Place chicken skin-side down and grill for 12–15 minutes until skin is charred and internal temperature reaches 165°F at thickest point.

5

Flip chicken, baste with reserved sauce, and grill 8–12 minutes more until fully cooked. If using thinner cuts (wings, breast), reduce time by 5 minutes.

6

In the last 3 minutes, place vegetable pieces on grill and char lightly, turning once.

7

Transfer chicken and vegetables to a platter. Serve alongside cooked grain with fresh herb garnish and any remaining warm sauce on the side.
