Oven Baked Honey Peri Peri Chicken, Lemon Mayo & Wedges

Before you begin...

This recipe takes around 5-10 min to prep, so get your ingredients ready, then wash your fruit and veg

Take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Now, let's get started!

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Before you start cooking, take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Chop your potatoes (skins on) into wedges

Add the wedges to one side of the baking paper-lined baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and give everything a good mix up

Put the tray[s] in the oven for an initial 3-4 min

Meanwhile, combine your peri peri spice mix with your honey, the juice of half your lemon[s](you'll use the rest later!) and a generous drizzle of olive oil

Add a generous pinch of salt and pepper, then give it a good mix up – this is your honey peri peri marinade

Add your chicken to the marinade and give it a good mix up until fully coated – this is your marinated chicken

Once the wedges have had an initial 3-4 min, add the marinated chicken to the other side of the tray[s] with a drizzle of vegetable oil

Tip: Cooking for 3 or more? Use 2 trays!

Return the tray[s] to the oven for a further 25-30 min, or until the wedges are crispy and the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!) and slightly charred – this is your honey & peri peri chicken and wedges tray bake

Meanwhile, cut your remaining lemon in half

Combine your mayo with a squeeze of the lemon juice (save a little for later!) and a pinch of sugar, salt and pepper – this is your lemon mayo

Wash your lettuce, then pat it dry with kitchen paper and roughly shred

Use this time to clear up, set the table, have a cup of tea or simply chill!
