Ingredients
- 8 Chicken thighs
Marinade
- 2 Lemons juice only
- 2 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 teaspoon Chilli flakes (adjust to taste)
- 4 cloves Garlic crushed

- 1 pinch Sea salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Put all of the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
- Put the chicken in to a large bowl and add the marinade. Mix well. Put in the fridge for 30-60 minutes so the chicken marinates.
- Put in a baking dish or onto a baking sheet.
- Put in a preheated oven at 220°C/425°F/Gas 7 and bake for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (reached an internal temperature of 74°C/165°F)

Notes
- This recipe uses 2 teaspoon of chilli flakes. If you don't like a lot of spice, reduce it to 1 tsp.
- Make sure that the chicken has enough space in the baking tray so that it cooks properly.
- Make your own Nando's sauce by taking all the same seasonings in this recipe again and mixing it with some lemon juice, more oil and some vinegar until the desired consistency.
- We used chicken thighs, but you can use drumsticks, breasts or even a whole chicken.
- Try to marinade it overnight if you can, but at least 30 minutes in the fridge if you don't have a lot of time.
- To make sure the chicken has reached the desired internal temperature, we used this Thermapen.
