Put in a baking dish or onto a baking sheet.

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.
