Chicken piri piri
Chicken cooked in a blisteringly hot Piri Piri sauce. You can omit the additional chillies if you desire, or use a milder variety of Piri Piri sauce. Serve with boiled potatoes and salad to cool the palette.

Hi, this is my recipe set up under an old account. The Piri Piri sauce used is of course that famous chicken place! Bottles slightly bigger these days, but you could easily cook 9 chicken thighs in this sauce. Add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar as well! Enjoy. - 30 Aug 2013
Blooming lovely!! Used a medium heat sauce and added the chilli and ginger also, went down a treat! May try making my own marinade next time. - 10 Aug 2013
Delicious but would like a piri piri sauce recipe instead of the bottled stuff - lemon and ginger do compliment it perfectly though - 06 Apr 2014
