For the Chicken:
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Piri-Piri Sauce:
6 red chili peppers (such as bird’s eye), chopped

1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika

In a blender or food processor, combine all sauce ingredients and blend until smooth. Set aside 1/2 cup of the sauce for serving.
Place the chicken in a large bowl or resealable bag. Pour remaining Piri-Piri sauce over chicken and marinate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Remove chicken from marinade and pat lightly dry. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill chicken for 25–30 minutes, turning occasionally, until skin is crispy and chicken is fully cooked (internal temp 165°F/74°C).
OR: Roast in the oven on a baking sheet for 35–40 minutes.
Serve hot with reserved sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
