Roasted Peri Peri Chicken (Nando's copycat)

All of sudden I crave Nando's peri peri chicken and of course we don't have Nando's in the country. To satisfy this craving I simply followed this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3LLD5R995s) and boy, it turned out so good!

Oven roasted five spice Peking chicken

As I search for a Chinese-style roast chicken last minute, I didn't have very high hope for the results as the recipe says marinate chicken for minimum 4 hours and I didn't have time for that.

What I did differently to counter the lack of marinating time was put the chicken in the pre-heated oven together with the marinate liquid. It tasted acceptable to me. I am going to make sure I have time to marinate the next time.
