Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) (180°C/350°F fan-forced).
Make the peri peri marinade – Combine the chargrilled capsicum, garlic, onion powder, sweet paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, sugar and red wine vinegar in a food processor. Blitz until smooth for 1–2 minutes, then slowly add the reserved oil while the food processor is running. This will help the marinade emulsify and thicken. Important: Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade to make the perinaise.
Marinate the chicken – Marinate the chicken in the remaining marinade in a bowl, tossing to coat. (You can marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours to intensify the flavours, although I rarely do, and it’s equally delicious.)
Bake the chicken – Place the chicken on a baking tray with sides, skin-side up, so the chicken isn’t overlapping.
Bake, uncovered, for 50–55 minutes, or until the chicken is nicely caramelised. Add ½ cup (125 ml) of water to the base of the baking tray halfway through to stop the marinade from burning.

Note 1 – Although mayonnaise is usually dairy-free, always check the label on the jar to be 100% sure.
Make Ahead
Chicken – Marinate the chicken up to 24 hours prior to cooking. Refrigerate in an airtight container or sandwich bag.
Perinaise – Make the peri peri marinade and the perinaise up to 24 hours prior to serving. Store the marinade and the perinaise refrigerated, separately, in an airtight container.
Leftovers
Chicken – Leftovers are even better the next day! Store leftover chicken for up to 3 days, refrigerated in an airtight container. Reheat in the microwave for best results (the skin will soften but the chicken will remain juicy and tender). Not suitable to freeze.
Perinaise – Store leftover perinaise separately, refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Not suitable to freeze.

Fantastic recipe easy to make with an impressive outcome. Big hit with the whole family we cannot get enough of it. LOVE IT !
I've made this twice & cannot get the marinade to emulsify 😔 can you please list the quantity of reserved oil? Thanks!
This was a hit with my family. I did a mixture of drumsticks (cooked 55mins) and breast (added at the 30min mark) and it came out perfect. Husband said it was better than our local Portuguese chicken place as the meat was so juicy.
Never used precooked rice before but the Mexican one went really well with this meal and made it a super easy dinner to prepare.
The flavor OMG! Another amazing recipe from you!!!
