Peri Peri Chicken Pilaf Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Rub the chicken with 1 tbsp of the peri-peri and brown in the pan for 1 min each side until golden. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Add the onion to the pan and cook on a gentle heat for 8-10 mins until soft. Add the garlic and remaining peri-peri, and give everything a stir. Tip in the rice and stir to coat.
• Add the stock and return the chicken to the pan. Add the peppers and cover with a lid, then simmer gently for 25 mins until cooked. About 5 mins before the end of cooking, add the tomatoes.
• Stir through the parsley, scatter over the chillies (if you like it spicy) and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the paprika, chili powder, lemon juice, garlic, ginger and salt. Rub chicken with the mixture, place in a dish, and marinate for 3 hours.
• Preheat a grill for medium heat.
• Place chicken onto the grill and discard the marinade. Cook for about 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is slightly charred and juices run clear.

Steps:

• Remove the chicken's backbone by using a pair of kitchen scissors. Turn it over and flatten it down to spread the chicken out as much as possible.
• Blend together all of the marinade ingredients in a food processor and spread half of it over the chicken.
• Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Roast in the centre of a preheated oven for 60 minutes at 200°C (400°F), or until the thickest part of the thigh is 75°C. Once the chicken is cooked through, allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
• Simmer the other half of the marinade for 2-3 minutes to make the Peri Peri sauce.
• Use as a dip for your chicken or mix some into mayonnaise or hummus!
• To make Peri Peri Chips, just shake some smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder and white pepper into your chips!
• Enjoy!
