  • 3 tsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Lemon juiced
  • 1 Red Pepper deseeded and cut into small chunks

Instructions

  • Score a couple or so of deep slashes in each piece of chicken using a sharp knife. Combine chilli, garlic, oregano, paprika, 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, the lemon juice and black pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken, turn to coat all over and massage into the meat. Cover and leave to marinate in a cool place for 30 minutes
