Directions

  1. Make the marinade
    Add the yoghurt, Peri Peri seasoning, lemon juice, olive oil and brown sugar or honey to a bowl. Mix until evenly combined.
  2. Taste and adjust

    Add the chicken and turn until each piece is well coated in the marinade.
  4. Refrigerate
    Cover and refrigerate for 3–12 hours.
