Might be a dumb question, but did you make the peri peri sauce or buy it? I've only used the Nando's sauce from the store, which is good, but your sauce looks better than mine ever has -- although I've never done a whole chicken.

I sliced them in half.

I actually think the balsamic was a little too sweet. Red wine vinegar would have been better, since the grapes are already sweet.

Made it. I've tried a few different recipes over the years. The one that I use as my base is this...

https://www.africanbites.com/piri-piri-sauce/

I add more lemon juice and a bit less garlic and leave out basil and oregano (tbh, I think they'd be swamped by th e garlic, lemon and vinegar anyway), but if you start with that give it a taste and add as required. It's a real cinch to make and once you've had it homemade you won't go back to buying it.
