Recipe after the jump

You can order your chicken in different level of spiciness but they also have sauces on the table for you to add an extra kick! I ordered my chicken legs in extra-hot but it was quite mild so I kept pouring the EXTRA HOT Peri-Peri sauce. I went home that day and decided, that I could make a similar type of chicken for my braai the coming weekend. Ladies and Gents I present you an authentic copy of the world famous Nando’s Chicken.

For the Chicken Combine all the ingredients listed below and marinate for as long as possible (2Hrs+). I normally leave it to marinate overnight.

Chicken Marinade

For Hot Peri Peri Sauce:

I would recommend making the Peri Peri sauce before making the marinade for the chicken. If you cannot find the ‘peri peri‘ pepper, then you could substitute it with either the piquin pepper or habernero pepper available at your local farmers market.

Once the sauce and the chicken are well marinated and ready to cook, be sure to have enough of the sauce to keep the chicken ‘wet’ with the marinade and baste it ever so often, while flipping it over and over again.

Once ready, you can serve it with pita bread, or make some home made fries, or maybe some wild rice. Now that I think about it, thats what I am going to write about next

Bon apetit!
