Peri Peri Chicken 

Peri peri chicken is prepared by marinating chicken in spicy peri peri sauce which is made up of hot African bird's eye chillies. African Bird’s eye Chillies – Also known as PERI-PERI when thrived and ripened.

Time: 6-7 hrs to marinate, 
          40 mins cooking time

Ingredients:

To prepare peri peri sauce

• 10-15 Bird's eye chillies
• 8-9 garlic gloves
• 1 small onion finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon Apple cider veniger
• salt

other Ingredients:

• 2 pieces of boneless chicken breast or chicken fillet
• oil to grease  

Recepie:

• put all the ingredients given for peri peri sauce in a mixer grinder and make a fine paste.

• Now, wash the chicken pieces and drain the water out. make cuts in the pieces with the help of a knife as shown in picture.
• Arrange the chicken pieces on a plate and with the help of a blush apply the peri peri sauce all over on both the sides.

• Now cover the plate with cling wrap nicely and keep the marinated chicken overnight in fridge. we can also keep it for 6-7 hrs. but I personally recommend to marinate it overnight, this makes chicken to absorb the flavours of spices very nicely.

• Take out the chicken from fridge and allow it to reach room temperature.
• Grease a grilling pan with oil and arrange the chicken pieces on it. brush some oil on the chicken as well.

• Preheat oven on 180C. 
• Roast the chicken for 40 minutes. 
• serve hot with grilled veggies, corn and peri peri sauce.

Happy Cooking
