Utensils

Step 1

To prepare the marinade mix the garlic, lime and salt together and pour over the chicken
Step 2

Cover and leave to marinade for an hour (you can skip this bit, but it tastes better if you don’t)
Step 3

Insert grill plate into your Ninja Foodi Health Grill and Air Fryer and close the lid. Turn the grill function to high and set the timer for 30 mins (although it might take less time, it won’t take more). Hit the start button. Once the Ninja beeps, it means it’s a perfect temperature
Step 4

Sprinkle the chicken with a little salt and put it skin side down onto the grill, closing the lid
Step 5

Take a look after ten minutes, and if the skin looks nicely sizzled with grill marks, turn it over. If not, cook for a few more minutes and then turn it over, close the lid, and cook for another ten minutes
Step 6

Then brush both sides with the Peri Peri sauce and cook for another 5 minutes, turning over halfway through
Step 7

Take a piece of chicken out and with the point of a sharp knife prick into the chicken near the joint to check if it’s cooked through. Then let it rest on a warmed plate whilst you make the garlic bread
Step 8

Set the grill on medium for 6 mins and mix the olive oil, oregano and garlic together. Cut the bread lengthways and then dip into the herbed, garlic oil. Place on the Grill and cook for 3-5 mins
