  • Step 2

    Place chicken breasts and legs into a resealable plastic bag. Pour in piri piri sauce, seal the bag, and shake gently to completely cover chicken. Put the bag in the refrigerator to marinate at least 4 hours.

  • Step 3

    Remove bag from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow chicken to come to room temperature.

  • Step 4

    Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  • Step 5

    Remove chicken from the bag; discard bag and cilantro. Cook chicken on the preheated grill, rotating as necessary to cook evenly, until juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 25 minutes.
