Ingredients

4 Chicken leg quarters
2 Red bell pepper
2 Red jalapeno peppers
1 Serrano pepper
1 Red onion
1 Lemon
2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
1 tbsp Dad's All Purpose Rub
1/4 cup Olive oil
1/4 cup Parsley
6 cloves Garlic

Instructions

Roast the bell peppers, red jalapenos, serrano pepper and red onion over direct fire.
Once they build up a nice char on the outside, drop them into a blender, add lemon zest, freshly squeezed lemon juice, garlic cloves, parsley, Dad's All Purpose Rub, red wine vinegar and olive oil. Blend the ingredients together until everything is liquified.
Remove the skin off the chicken leg quarters, score the meat and pour half of the peri peri sauce over the meat. Make sure to cover all sides of the meat.
Refrigerate the marinating chicken for 1 hour.
Preheat the grill to 375 degrees and set it for dual zone grilling.
Place the marinated chicken on the direct side first and grill until you build some grilled color over the chicken. Flip every2-3 minutes to avoid burning.
Move to the indirect side and cook until the internal temperature reaches 175 degrees internally. Just before removing, brush some of the peri peri sauce over the chicken and let it cook for another minute.
