We enjoyed this but found it didn't have the bite we thought it would plus it was a little on the dry side. Of course, I don't have access to peri Peri here and should have added more red pepper flakes & cayenne to the chili powder I did have. I almost think the flavours of this would be better, and it would be moister, left with some of the marinade, covered in foil and baked in a glass dish. Thank you for sharing - made for ZWT4

    I couldn't find hot chili powder so I used regular chili powder and added cayenne pepper. I used the full quantity of paprika. It has a nice taste but not enough juicy. Thanks Mandy. Made for the Babes of ZWT4

    I cheated a bit Mandy - I used some ready made Peri Peri sauce that Zurie sent me from South Africa! But it was the recipe idea that I loved so much - and it worked a treat! I DID add extra garlic and lemon juice however - these chicken breasts were moist and very spicy - we ate them with fruity rice and a side salad for a lovely meal on the 19th August - Hot and Spicy Day! Made for Holiday Tag - and I will make thse again. Thanks Mandy! FT

    This made some pretty good grilled chicken, but I do agree with the other reviewers that it comes out a little bit dry. Of course, if I had more time when I was making this, I would have brined the chicken first, since that's typically what I do with chicken breasts before I grill them anyway. I didn't have any fresh lemons to squeeze for juice, so I subbed bottled, not-from-concentrate lemon juice. For the hot chili powder, I used Hot Chili Powder because none of my bottled chili powder was the hot variety. DH is pretty picky about meats on the bone, so I used boneless skinless breasts. I enjoyed the strong lemon flavor, but I think I needed a bit more salt (I prefer my grilled meats to be a little on the salty side). This made quite a bit of chicken for just two of us, so I used the leftover breasts sliced up in a big salad — delicious! Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT4
