Piri Piri (spelled Peri-Peri) is traditionally made from PiriPiri peppers which originated in South Africa, and were imported to Portugal from two Portuguese colonies, Angola and Mozambique. Today, most hot sauces from Portugal are referred to as Piri Piri.
Ingredient:
4 bone-in chicken breast halves
1/4 cup paprika

3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger
3 Tablespoon of Nando’s Peri-peri sauce.
Salt to taste
3 pieces of fresh red chilli – halves
1 onion – sliced
Method:
1. Wash chicken and pat dry.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the paprika, chili powder, lemon juice, garlic, ginger and peri-peri sauce. Rub chicken with the mixture, add salt, place in a dish, and marinate for 3 hours.
