Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

In a bowl, combine peri peri sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Rub the marinade all over the chicken, ensuring it's well coated.

Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.

Prepare the grill by oiling the grates to prevent sticking.

Place the marinated chicken on the grill, breast side down.

Cook for 20-25 minutes, then flip the chicken.

Grill for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

While the chicken is grilling, sauté chopped onion and red bell pepper in butter until soft.

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Serve the chicken garnished with fresh parsley and lime wedges.

Pair with the sautéed vegetables on the side.
